I have a few questions about Time Machine.
1) Can I move my backup archive to a new disk? I'd like to move it to its own drive, but want to keep the log of backups I have currently.

2) Can I tell Time Machine to delete all the backed up information in a given folder. For example, if I exclude a directory now (say a folder where I store temp files for video encodes) that wasn't excluded before, is there a way to remove those from my backup archive to free up some space?

3) Is there a menu I'm missing that lets me set the max size or duration of backups?

Thanks!!
