I did just try on another mac - no good - you are correct. Now I need to find a place that does data retrieval for G-Drives. I presently kept the two back ups in Time Machine - dumb question here..... when I backed the entire computer up on ArmorATD (took 5 hours), dis that automatically back up all that was on the old back up even though not plugged in? I assume all is in the mac? Or not? Many thanks in advance...

I have all updates with High Sierra. I did get the ArmorATD (new) to finally back up. I want to have two hard drive back ups and still can't get the GDrive to be recognized by my mac. I have lots of imp. data on it.

I see you got the other drive working. What did you do?

If two drives don't work, it sounds like an issue with the Mac. If it's only one drive now, and it's an old one, it's probably the drive. Can you see if it mounts on another computer, Mac or Windows? If it doesn't, there's your answer.

Don't really understand the question. The ArmorATD TM backup backed up your Mac at that point and will continue doing so moving forward, as long as it's connected and TM is turned on. It is completely independent of the GDrive.
