I have two 8tb backup drives ready to go with Time Machine.

On my system i have 4 drives, one has 3tb, one has 4tb, etc etc....

How do i tell Time Machine that i want to back up certain internal drives to certain backup drives?

When it backs up i dont want it all split randomly over the two backup drives.

Thanks

There's no option to specify what you want with Time Machine. You may need to use other backup software, and I'm sure others will chime in with suggestions.
 
CarbonCopyCloner seems to be one of the favorites here on these forums. I haven't tried it myself but I have a simpler system and the basic Time Machine backup process works fine for me.

SuperDuper is another choice.

I've noticed that @Fishrrman generally has good advice regarding backups, when questions are posted here.
