It’s amazing to me that after 30+ years, Darth Vader is still one of the most popular characters.
It’s always refreshing to hear a pastor, like Francis Chan, say that he’s just trying to figure things out, just like I am.—Push away the things that he’s been told about God and dig into the Bible, the Truth, to discover Truth.
A few months ago, I got ready to back up an external hard drive with my TimeMachine. — TV Timeout Did you know you could even do that?! To backup an external hard drive, go to *System Preferences > Time Machine. *
Click on the Options button
From the list, make sure the external you’re wanting to back up is not listed. If it is, select it and click on the minus button.
—Anyway, I got ready to back up an external, but it wouldn’t let me remove my external hard drive from the list. That’s weird. Come to find out Time Machine won’t back up a disk FAT formatted. It must be Mac Journaled.
So, what do you do? Well, I moved all the files over to another drive. I’ll just reformat this drive from FAT to Mac Journaled, move my files back, not a problem.
To reformat a drive, you can open Disk Utility. Please be extremely careful with this panel. You can easily do more harm than good.
With the correct drive selected, go to the Erase tab. There, you can select the format, name the drive, and click the Erase button. Sounds straight forward enough. But, every time I tried to change it from FAT to Mac Journaled, I kept getting an error. Come to find out, when you format your drive as a FAT drive, it puts some information on the drive, making it difficult to change down the road. Awesome! What am I supposed to do now?
Well, with a little research I found a work around.
Now, I’m good to put files on the drive and back it up with Time Machine.
By the way, any post that I can talk about an actual Time Machine, you know is going to be a good one!
