    Just bought myself a lovely Western Digital My Book 1Tb external drive/

    The week leading up to Christmas my internal drive reached capacity and Photoshop was playing up as there was no room for scratch disk etc...

    Anyways Im about to transfer all my data over to this external HD/ and dedicate my internal HD just for OSx + apps. (as my internal is only 50gb)

    Is there any way of getting Time-Machine to backup my external-HD instead of my internal-HD? Only reason I ask is that it's saved me a couple of headaches in the past being able to go back a couple of days on certain files/

    In System Preferences > TIme Machine > Options, it should show all available drives to be backed up, and you can choose which not to backup...
