i have 4 hard drives in my mac pro.

1 drive is for time machine.
1 drive for boot drive.
2 drives for production.

my time machine drive backs up all three hard drives.

i know that i can restore a boot drive from a time machine backup... but can you (and how do you) restore another drive from a time machine backup? is this possible?

scenario - let's pretend that one or both of my production drives fail. i replace the drives. can i (and how can i) restore those drives from the time machine backup?

i am planning on reconfiguring my drives soon and want to make sure that i can restore an additional drive from time machine if i needed to.

thanks.
