Exclude question on Time Machine
Hi,
I have new iMac and have just setup an external drive as an encrypted backup of my iMan, I didnt exclude anything, I have just allowed it to backup everything.
I do not intend to leave the external drive connected as this is a risk, if one gets stolen they are both likely to get stolen, therefore my intention is to discoonect the drive and only reconnect weekly or when I've made significant changes to my iMac. I am assuming that Time Machine will simply catch-up each time I reconnect the drive.
I also have another external drive when is much smaller than the first but large enough for my most important files, therefore I was thinking of using it as a Time Machine for just a subset of the hard drive in my iMac.
So to my question,
Can I have one external drive that is backing up everything and a second eternal drive that has an exlclude list so it only backs up some of the drive?
Can I have two different exclude lists on one iMac to two different external drives?
Thank you for any help.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
