I own it because ever since I joind a competative rifle squad in high school I have enjoyed shooting at local ranges. Why don't I carry? Because most of the places I go to don't allow firearms. (Church, restaurants, etc.) If I'm at a downtown restaurant, I would be most likly to need the gun going from car to restaurant and back, but since I can't take the gun into the restaurant or bar I can't carry it anyway. Concealed carry is legal in Ohio, but impractical in many cases. Also, the S&W 38 revolver is a bit large for concealed carry.

When I worked for the Red Cross I was often in housing projects that had armed guards in the parking lots. I thought about carrying then, but I don't think the RC would allow it.

But your points are well taken. Perhaps I'll reconsider.

Do you carry anything unusual in your camera bag?

Although I do own a S&W .38, I have never in my 75 years felt the need to carry it. Perhaps I’m naive.

I believe that is the answer. But the Carbonite Cloaner seems to be working, and since all my photos are on the external ssd, I'm not inclined to reformat it.

Thanks for your reply.

I''m not sure what unlocking the System Preferences means.

However, I downloaded a trial of Carbon Copy Cleaner and it appears to be doing exactly what I want. So thank you for the recommendation.

I tried removing the drive from the excluded list. It does not work. I highlight the drive and click on - and nothing happens.

What is your goal? If you want to back up the SSD to the cloud, you can use any cloud back up service, for example, IDrive. If on the other hand you want to back up the SSD to another physical drive, you can use Time Machine which your Mac should already have. Since Time Machine is set by default to exclude external drives from being backed up, you'll need to configure Time Machine by removing the SSD from the list of exclusions.

I tried that. Time Machine will not allow me to remove the SSD from the excluded list.

My goal is to back up the SSD either to another local drive or to a cloud service, but since Time Machine refuses to back up the ssd, I'm leary of purchaseing other software or icloud storage and then finding out the ssd cannot be accessed.

I have a Mac Mini. I recently attached a Samsung SSD drive to use as the working drive for my photo editing. I would like to be able to backup this drive, but I have not been able to find a solution for that. Can anyone help with this?

(And, YES, I did search Ugly Hedgehog before asking.)

More than 50 Sony A9III at the recent Super Bowl. Sony users only, what do you think about this ?
