Hello!


To use your internal fusion drive on a iMac as the Time Machine drive, just do the following.


  1. Open Launchpad
  2. Click System Preferences
  3. Select Time Machine
  4. Now Click "Select Backup Disk"


Once here, just click on the Fusion Drive and it will start backing up your data.


If you need anything else, please reply.
