[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1672226"] It's in the OS. The TM drive is identified as a TM drive and changes to the aqua color. Because the CCC drive looks to the OS just like any other external drive with files on it, that drive is NOT recognized as a backup and therefore doesn't change. If you turn TM off, the drive will revert to a normal yellow color because it's no longer identified with TM. You didn't ask "Why" but I'll venture a guess...I suspect it was Apple's way of trying to minimize the accidental ejection of a TM drive while TM is running. One more "alert" that this drive is different from the others. [/QUOTE]
