I have a laptop, and want to have one external TM backup at home, and one at work.

I want the exclusions to be different for each one, but I'm having trouble getting it to work properly - it seems like there is only one set of exclusions - how do I get this to work smoothly? Thanks!

I don't have 2 HD to test this out! But I've heard others using more then 1 TM backup for Home & Work.
Do forgive me but are you using the same name for the TM Home & Work backups? If so you may just rename the Work "TM-Work" then when you reach work & plug-in hit TM-Preferences select the correct TM-backup also always check the Options even after setting them just to make sure their set correctly, I know it's going to be a pain but I think it's your best option.

P.S. If anyone else has a solution please butt in, I still didn't find anything at;
