If you're not doing back ups, Time Machine will inquire if you want to do so when you install a drive. It's a good reminder and a shortcut for those who are actually installing a second, third, or tenth dive. If you leave the drive connected, Time Maxhine won't continue to ask you. Most users don't disconnect a drive every day. It's a compromise, but a good one for the most part. Time Machine is able to discriminate in regard to what might normally be considered portable storage. For example, it won't ask if you want to back up to a thumb drive or a memory card. Time Machine backs up my startup drive every day. For that I am most grateful.
