I have one more question.
When I hook up my extrnal drive again, will time machine autimattically start 
backing up files (And if so, how will I know when it's done since there seems 
to be no indicator that it's active)?

Note: I have time machine set to on for the autimatic backups, if that is any 
help.

Thanks, Nicole
