Arpit Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 so i'm trying to set up my external drive as a time machine back up drive, however it seems to create huge backups each time it goes through the process. since the space on the drive is limited, and i'm more interested in backing up my personal files, emails, etc only...how do i customize time machine to back up only this? playing around in preferences only showed me what to exclude rather than what to include. thanks..

Arpit Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Just exclude everything save for your home folder. ah thanks...i was wondering if i could cut the backup size further...but i think this suffices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
