Partitioned internal hard drive backup

Hi there


My iMac's internal hard drive is partitioned. How do I setup time machine backup for both these. I do not see my "DATA" drive in the excluded list (only the external hard drives). Please help

What version OS? Depending on OS, If you're seeing Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data in Disk Utilities that's correct. TimeMachine will get both "partitions" as the - Data one is your user data that is segregated by design from your operating system to limit access to the system.



In the above example, I renamed the drive for identity purposes, but this is the correct configuration.
