Can TimeMachine back up from more than one hard drive?

[alexf]

Hi Everyone,

After doing a little research I failed to find the answer to this question, so I thought I would post it here:

I am now using two hard drives, as my iMac internal drive was running out of space. My question is: is it possible to have both hard drives (internal and external) back up automatically using Time Machine, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah - just remove the external from the list of exclusions within Time Machine settings and it will be backed up along with your internal drive

Ah, I see. In other words, I don't have to do anything at all.

Thank you for your response.

You may have to remove the removable drive from the list of exclusions - I've noticed Time Machine seems to add them automatically
