[QUOTE="chscag, post: 871991, member: 46727"] Apple support will tell you it doesn't, but apparently it does. You have to remove the external drives from the excluded list. (I know, you've already tried that.) However, Time Machine will not backup any drive, internal or external that's not formatted to HFS+. What format is your external drive using? Also see the following discussion on another forum - same subject: [URL="http://www.onedigitallife.com/2007/10/30/does-time-machine-backup-external-drives/"]Link[/URL] Regards. [/QUOTE]
