	Hi all, Here's what I want to do - be able to back up the data on my 4GB USB pen drive using Time Machine. However, when I go into the settings in Time Machine, I get this: ALGERNON is my other external FW drive. B GALLAGHER is my USB pen drive. BACKUP is, of course, my Time Machine backup drive. This image Indicates to me that the only drive which I can add to my backup list is the my other external FW drive. Does anyone know if there is any workaround to these settings to allow me to backup the USB drive as well? Thanks.
