[QUOTE="James, post: 739342, member: 7582"] Use your external drive for backup, it only makes sense. If your main drive goes out so does your backup. The drive you have will be plenty big enough to work with Time Machine as as the drive fills up it drops off the early backups. Unless you just need hourly backups it is a waste. Just turn off Time Machine until you want a backup and then turn it on and let it run when you do. [/QUOTE]
