[QUOTE="Tom75, post: 1815871, member: 279482"] Hi and thanks for the detailed answer. I just didnt want an fusion drive anymore and wanted to go only for SSD and since my main storage vulume are pictures which will be on the external thunderbolt 3 drive, I calculated that 256GB are more than enough for the OS and some apps. Even I reach 100GB I have still a lot of free capacity. So as you say its impossible to do a normal time machine setup of restoring but would it be possilbe to do a time machine restoring if I am just somehow able to exclude the picture folder? I have basically several external 4TB I can conect via thunderbolt 3 so capacity is not a problem at all but how does this manually moving of apps and data work which you are describing? Do I have to install everything like apps etc from scratch or can I still somehow move those from time machine backup? Regards, Tom [/QUOTE]
