Q: Can I use Time Machine to backup a volume on one external HD to another external HD
I'm trying to work out the most efficient way to include my iPhoto library in my Time Machine backup when it runs. The iPhoto library is located on a partition of a 1TB Lacie Rugged external drive, and my Time Machine backup destination is a 700GB partition of a 2TB Lacie Rugged external drive. To date I haven't included the iPhoto Library in the Time Machine backup but I do keep a copy of my iPhoto library on a separate partition on the 2TB Lacie Rugged.
It occurs to me that a 'full' Time Machine backup should include the iPhoto library and I was wondering how I go about including the iPhoto library from the 1TB external drive in the Time Machine backup?
I would be grateful for any suggestions
Cheers

1. Yes.
2. No. Note that you should avoid having all the copies of a file on a single drive.
