You should be able to backup to most any drive as long as it's formatted for the Mac. I think Time Machine is kinda picky about this so if you've got it formatted as some NTFS or whatever volume Time Machine probably won't touch it. Largest drives right now are 4TB unless you have a box that uses multiple drives like a Drobo.

Dear list, I'm writing about 2 interesting Apple problems, one I have a series 
of IMAP mailboxes into my mail accounts, here in my Gmail account, and in my 
cloud account. Unfortunately on my MacBook I cannot access any of these IMAP 
mail folders but on my big iMac I can. For variety of reasons I will not have 
my iMac for at least another 2 possibly 3 weeks have I'm in the process of 
moving so the issue arises how do I gain access to these IMAP mailboxes that 
appear in mail as separate mailboxes Russian Mark the other issue is that I 
cannot seem to get Time Machine to back up to my 2 TB drive that I have 
connected to my MacBook. I do have a 500 Gig Dr. that I could hook up to my 
MacBook but much much slower than the 2 TB drive, so I look for to 10 TB drive 
if I can. Does anyone have any suggestions for all of this? PS I am using 
Dragon to dictate this post, please forgive any errors in spelling, syntax, 
and/or grandma. If you really can not understand this? Please fill free to 
write me off list and we can converse and wanted out to get it twittered you 
can understand what I am asking. I think anyone who can help me in advance and 
have a great evening.
