[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1871207, member: 83420"] Just for my interest and curiosity, have things changed with macOS Catalina and macOS 11 Big Sur (BS)? Up to macOS Mojave, which I currently run, I can go into System Preferences > Time Machine > Options where a small window opens allowing me to "Exclude these items from backup" and that is where I input any attached EHDs that I don't want TM to backup - the implication being that TM will backup an EHD if not excluded in this way.
