[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1634990"] OK, just wanted to make sure of the product. So, you said:Time Machine is a backup product so it doesn't "upgrade" anything. I think your spellchecker got you on that one. And it defaults to backing up everything it sees, including your thumb drive. But you don't see the files with Safari, that's your Internet browser. You see files with Finder, and yes, you can see Time Machine files with Finder, so if your financials are backed up, you would be able to see them. If you don't want that to happen, you can open System Preferences and then the Time Machine icon there and then click on Options and in the resulting window click on the "+" and add anything you want Time Machine to ignore. Once done, the backups will no longer have that included, although previous backups will still remain, I think. I've never tested that. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
