hi there, I just set my LaCie 2TB external hard drive as backup disk and I've done also the first backup on it. the problem is that now I cannot put anything else on the hard drive, each time I try to put something on it it brings this icon 🚫 and I don't know hoe to sort it out. I'd appreciate a help please

While you can store other things on your TM drive it's not the best idea. To do so you'll need to partition the drive using Disk Utility with one partition for your TM backups and one for your other files.
Keep in mind that your TM drive should be 2-3 times the capacity of the drive you're backing up in order to get a good depth of backup history.
