I have a ghost server for creating and deploying all our Mac images and I want to just backup using Time Machine the server OS HD and that's it. I have four HD's in the computer and when I select the HD to backup to, it then wants to look at backing up almost 1TB of space (HD total for all four HD's). I don't want TM to backup the other three HD's, just the HD with the OS on it. Is there an add'on to Time Machine that can allow me to filter what HD or files gets backed up?

Tks,

System Preferences->Time Machine->Options->Do not back up [add here what you don't want to be backed up]
