[QUOTE="windymiller, post: 1022374, member: 101447"] I have a LaCie External Hard Drive set up to Time Machine by Fire Wire on my MacBook Pro. It's working good so no complaints. Simple question, when I need to take the MacBook away from the external Hard Drive should I go into System Preferences and turn the Time Machine off before disconnecting the Hard Drive? Or is ok just to disconnect the drive and leave Time Machine set to 'On'? I appreciate nothing will be backed up whilst it's away from the drive, before you tell me.;) As always, thanks for any help in advance. [/QUOTE]
