Will time machine automatically back up a WD passport when its plugged into the time machine instead of the macbook?
Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro with a WD passport for mac that i keep all my pictures on. I know time machine will back it up if i plug it into the mac and select to un exclude it through time machine preferences, which i have done, but i generally keep the passport plugged into the time machine itself and use it wirelessly.
However, I don't actually know if time machine is backing it up this way, or if it is just a wireless router that lets me access the passport.
How can i tell if it is being backed up? And if not, how can i back it up while it is plugged into the time machine?
