Hi. I'm close to purchasing a new 27" iMac. Just sorting out the details. My one concern is regarding backups. I would be getting the iMac with 256gb SSD and 2gb 7200 rpm data drive. OSX would be installed on the SSD, and my data would be stored on the other drive. However, from what I have read about Time Machine, there isn't much you can configure. It basically asks "what drive?" and then backs up that whole drive. Is there any way it could be configured to backup both drives? Realistically, I wouldn't need daily backups of the system drive, but if it's incremental, it wouldn't likely be a problem. Do I basically have to run two backup software packages (e.g. Time Machine for system drive and something else for the other drive)?
