I'm trying to include an external SSD drive to the backup. Nothing happens when I select the drive under the excluded list and hit the minus sign. I can't include that external SSD drive. Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
Mac mini (M4)
What kind of external SSD and how is it formatted?
Crucial X9 Pro 2TB ExFAT
It is mounted? If so, restart and try again.
Yes, it’s mounted. I will restart the computer, but I don’t that will make a difference. Is it possible that there isn’t enough room on the Time Machine volume?
That's possible I suppose. Does it seem you have enough space for both on the Time Machine drive? The TM drive should be at least twice the size of the two drives you want to backup combined.
Will check, but would the system know that automatically? Is there a way to use the TM for just a folder on an external drive?
No, It will back up the entire drive.
Time Machine Won't Allow Me to Include External SSD Drive for Back-up
