I am still confused by the wording. If the LaCie drive is listed in the ¡°Exclude these items from backups:¡± dialogue box, does that mean that the LaCie drive will not be used as a destination for a backup, or that the LaCie drive will not itself be backed up. Obviously I want my iMac hard drive backed up to the LaCie drive. This is my current situation. I used Disk Utility to erase and reformat the LaCie drive which I would like to use for my Time Machine backup (as well as for backing up my hard drive using Super Duper). Now when I open that Exclude these items from backups dialogue box, both the LaCie Drive and my Macintosh HD are listed (the latter grayed out) and if I press the minus sign beneath the window, it will allow me to exclude the LaCie drive (is that what I want if I am using that drive to backup to?) but not the Macintosh HD which is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry to keep going at this but Time Machine is still not doing a backup of my Macintosh Hard Drive to the LaCie drive which is what I want.
