Hi, In the past, there was a limitation with Time Machine drives that affected their ability to remove old backups as they got full. It had to do with the occurrence of additional files on the HD. That removal didn’t work properly when other files existed besides the Time Machine sparse bundle. The partition or HD normally needs to be HFS+ Journaled to be used as a Time Machine backup location. Not sure if any of that has changed, but not likely.

Today I bought an external hard drive because of that freak accident with my Mac a few weeks ago. So I got a few questions about it. 1. I want to do a time machine backup of my entire HD. However, I have a whole bunch of youtube videos I copied onto another system other than my Mac. Can I copy over those videos onto the external drive without partitioning it? 2. If I have to partition the drive, how would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.
