[QUOTE="DMP21, post: 1900365, member: 410338"] Hi MacInWin, Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed reply. With respect to these statement I think our experiences differ, my actual experience with my iMac is different. In your experience what have you found that shows that once the drives are un-fused it will not perform any backup? As mine still performs backups (of the SSD) [U]ref screenshot[/U][B][U] SSD Backup to Timemachine - current as of 02 Jan 2022.jpg[/U][/B] I can see that the physical backup has not worked for a long time (about the time MacKeeper were "tinkering" with my system.. to "FIX" something hmm?) ref screenshot [B][U]Mac HDD Backup to Timemachine - stopped 2019.jpg[/U][/B] You say that there is no backup after the un-fusing, for me this is not the case, backups are still made daily for the SSD since that is what I work on. Of course the un-fused drive (the physical rotating HDD) is no longer connected so it is not backed up. When I check the backups on (CMD + R) looking in the macOS Utilites > Restore From Time Machine Backup - I see all the regular backups. Plus they work as I recently went back and performed a restore of my entire Photo library due to a glitch I made. But otherwise I see no problems with the SSD backups, so at least I am luck at least I am lucky as in the case of my un-fused drives, it sees them as separate drives and backs them up separately. So my data is not gone, all though I can see the exact time stamp when it stopped. Some years ago since this is not my primary computer. So hooray she's not (all) dead Jim ;-) Thanks again for your input. [/QUOTE]
