    Hi, I have 2 external drives, one of which i use to store my media, the other i want to use with time machine to keep a backup of my laptop hard drive and the media drive.

    I've heard that you can partition the time machine drive to allow it to backup each drive, but i dont see any options to choose which drive to backup, only ones to exclude and it does not let me include my media drive.

    I wonder if anyone can give me some suggestions, I would be open to using other software as well if anyone can recommend it

    thanks,
