Hi friends,
when I try to set up a 4Tb external hard-drive under Tahoe in Time Machine I always get the message that there is not enough space on the drive - even my Macintosh HD has just 600Gb. It says 7.99 Tb of space are needed. It seems that it tries to backup my external hard-drives. There is no option to exclude drives in Time Machine. I already put off these drives before I started Time Machine and I deleted "com-apple.TimeMachine.plist" already. It still does not work and the Plist comes back after I restart. What can I do?
