Good morning, I use an external drive to hold my iTunes and Photos library. I have explicitly selected in 'Options' to include the external drive in the hourly backup process with Time Machine so the backup file first time around was quite large (~650GB) and took a long while. I dont actually have a problem currently but if my external drive were to fail or get lost or stolen, how would I reinstate the contents within the backup file of the external drive to a NEW external drive and restore the status quo? I've never once restored a file from TM (though I am well practiced at deleting the Sparsebundle backup file!!) so not familiar with the process anyway but I am keen to understand how I would restore the external drive associated files (either singly (say my Photos library file) or the drive in total). Regards Pete.
