[QUOTE="nelix, post: 1871162, member: 401651"] I had to buy a new Mac, and since I was in a hurry I could only get one with a small capacity SSD (256 GB). Since this is too small to accommodate all my documents, pictures and music, I put them on an external drive. I would like to back up all these files to Time Machine but this new external drive is excluded from backups. I can't remove it from the excluded list because it's grayed out. Is there any way to do that? [/QUOTE]
