Because not everyone is a geek and knows how to jump through
all the hoops necessary to get it to work by that method.

True, but I think everyone should be aware that this option is available
and decide for themselves whether it's worth the effort to save $40.

Thanks for the correction. Are either of those drives formatted with
NTFS or FAT32 though?

This line?: "Incorrect. I have TM backing up a couple of external
drives as well." Where, in that line, does it say anything about the
format of the external drives?? Am I missing something?

> No, they are not.

whether it can back up mounted NTFS/FAT drives is questionable.
