    I figured it out. By default, Time Machine will put your external drives on the excluded list. So, you have to go to the System preferences > Time Machine > Options. Then, click on the "-" button (just above "Notify after old backups are deleted", then go to your external drive and select it. Now you list should not have you drive and when you back up, your drive will be backed up. You'll probably notice that it's working by how long that first backup takes. (If you have something substantial on your external drive)
