I have just used an external USB to backup my MacBook Air via Time Machine before installing Mojave. Can anyone tell me if the original Time Machine internal drive backup still exists, or do I have to keep the external drive connected all the time for backups? Thanks!

It is not clear what you are asking. Backups should be located on an external drive not an internal drive. Placing a backup on an internal drive is defeating the purpose of a backup. If the internal drive fails and your backup is on the internal drive you will lose your backup.
It should be there until Time Machine needs more space, if you can afford it get a second external drive.
Hi Bob... I took it to mean the backup OF the internal drive, not ON the internal drive... we will see. 🙂
Many thanks! I figured it out and backed up on external drive. All set now.
You are correct! I’m learning! Thanks for your input!
Great news, good luck. 😟
