Q: Time machine - external drive retrieval
I have used time machine to back up my mac and an external drive. If I unplug the external drive and enter time machine, I can no longer see the external drive.
If my external drive is lost or stolen, how will I access the backup?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Keeping another backup off-premesis, is always a good strategy in case of fire, theft or drive failure. It won't always be completely up to date but it will have the bulk of your files. You can rotate the drives periodically. If someone steals your iMac, you're out of luck unless you have "Find My Mac" enabled...
