Q: Transferring Volumes in Time Machine
I currently have Time Machine backing up two volumes: my boot volume and an external drive.
I'm about to transfer the contents of that external drive from its current physical location to new hardware… larger in size :-)
If I name the new external drive the same as the existing one, will Time Machine continue to back it up?
Or will the internal representations in El Capitan be different so that I have to set TM up specifically to exclude the old drive (which I know I do with 'Exclude' in System Prefs); and to include the new volume - which I;m not sure how to do?
TIA!
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), Clean machine... no haxies; no Microsoft etc
