Time Machine

[Kevin Callahan]

Due to only having a 100 Gig internal drive on my MBPro, I  keep  
Documents on an external drive (using an alias).  I also keep my  
iPhoto library and my iTunes library on an external drive.  I keep  
Logic Pro and GarageBand files on yet another drive, and movie  
projects on yet another drive.

I'm looking at the Time Machine window as it processes its first full- 
backup.  I see the total is only 82 Gig - obviously, it's not grabbing  
my external docs, nor my photos and music libraries and other media.

But, when I open the Time Machine preferences, there's an Options  
panel showing all the drives (5) connected to my MBPro, including the  
drive holding my media and docs.  So it looks like it's not a problem  
backing up numerous drives to a single drive.  I just need to buy a  1  
or 2 terabyte drive.

Anybody suggest a reliable large disk?  ones to avoid?

Thanks,
Kevin
