Please help setting up TM for iMac with 2 external drives


@ssls6 able set old imac following below instruction successfully.

this

1) buy 2 external usb3 drives (a 2tb , 4tb)
2) make 4tb time machine backup drive, call backup
3) make 2tb media drive, call media
4) make sure itunes preferences/advanced tick boxes selected "keep media organized", quit itunes
5) copy entire folder "itunes media" home itunes folder external "media" drive
6) start itunes , go itunes preferences/advanced , tell new media folder location
7) quit , restart itunes, test songs, movies, ...that play
8) can delete old "itunes media" folder in home itunes folder. no longer used.
9) turn on time machine , have backup both macintosh hd , media

if add music, go automatically external media drive. artwork cache still on ssd seeing stuff still fast.

i'm not sure how set tm.

i'm assuming "backup" should have no music on it? (once removed previous backups)
i'm confused "media" drive. how set tm backs media , not whole computer? again
 

if under "systempreferences/timemachine/options" see default external drives, including "media" drive excluded tm backup process. select "media" drive , click on " - " button remove excluded list. on next time machine backup, contents of external "media" drive included, , subsequent incremental backups well. in addition internal system drive.

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's sons -
