[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1490737"] Dude -- you have your boot drive listed to be EXCLUDED from backups! What do you expect to happen when you tell Time Machine NOT to back up your boot drive? (the TM drive is of course greyed out because it is automatically excluded from being backed up -- it's your backup drive!) To fix this, REMOVE "Macintosh HD" from the list of drives to be EXCLUDED from backups. [/QUOTE]
