Terminal command to make mounted read/write disk image recognized as no removable media (for Time Machine purposes)

Question

Happy 4th!So I have encrypted read/write disk images that I want to mount when I periodically run Time Machine (I will manually back up as opposed to scheduled). I found a couple links that describe how to do this, but I am not confident with my Terminal skills, as my first attempt fell flat on its face. For example, the first link references a sparse image. I want to achieve this with a read/write format of a mounted disk image, so I didn&#x27;t know if the terminal string would have to read differently. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help with how to put such a Terminal command together.Here are a few example of what I found from Googling, but as I mentioned, they seem to reference sparse images specifically: http://superuser.com/questions/285225/how-to-make-timemachine-back-up-contents-o f-any-path-or-mounted-volumehttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/3955833?tstart&#x3D;0Thanks again!

you may be able to do this with the automaterhttp://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/otherwise Time Machine may not respond well under these conditions and the intended use of the application can be found hereUse Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Supportoutside of that there is no guarantee how it will work or work at all.
