Hi all,
I’m using Time Machine to back up my Mac via my Synology NAS, and I have my full Photos Library stored on an external SSD. This drive isn’t always connected — sometimes I disconnect it for weeks at a time.
My question is:
If the external SSD is not connected when Time Machine runs a backup, will it delete or remove the previous backup of that drive or the Photos Library? Or does it simply skip it and wait until it’s reconnected? Will the next time I connect the SDD and do a backup, do a whole 1TB+ backup or just the changes of this drive that was unavailable until now?
Thanks in advance!
