[QUOTE="landtoy80, post: 1370733, member: 216357"] All I want to save on my Free Agent GoFlex 1T portable hard drive is my pictures and my documents. Can I set up the Time Machine to only back up all my pics, documents and pic's on I-photo? Any reason not to run time machine this way? I only care about my documents and pic's, the rest of the stuff on the Mac I don't care if I lose as I can just reboot with DVD and start fresh. I want to just save the stuff in (not sure what its called but I get to it by going to) Finder< Places< Icon of a House and its Name (that I named) in there is all my folders with pic's Did some playing with Exclusions and removed everything but Apps < I-Photo and PhotoBooth User< (the file I named) and 2 other files that I use. Is this the correct way to save only data and pics/docs? and Finder< Places< Documents I have run Time Machine with no exclusions. I am going to reboot the Mac with the Leopard DVD that came with the Mac. I have OS X 10.5.8 I am not too Mac proficient (as you may tell) and have read about "exclusions" to Time Machine but not sure what to exclude so I only get my Pic's, Doc's and I-Photo's saved.
