Does time machine back up a flash drive or CD that was viewed on the Mac Studio?
I had a Flash Drive that I opened on my Mac BUT lost it, it was items from a CD that I put on the Flash Drive as I no longer used CD's to record B/U material.
While I fear the obvious, I am hoping for an answer as it would be frustration to search the Time Machine B/U if they were not available.
Thank You,

Time machine backs up every native Mac-formatted drive connected to your Mac. Those drives need to be Mac-formatted so that a spotlight database can be created on that drive. So not CD drives (Read-ONLY) AND NOT FAT or ExFAT formatted USB sticks.
Thanks

It would only be backed up if left connected for a period of time. If it was removed before the next TM backup then no it would not be on the TM drive.
Curious question:
I thought that Time Machine constantly backed up?
I have a separate External HD for Time machine.
I also have Carbon Copy that I used for another External HD.
Backs up hourly as needed but you could miss the window.
