Hi everyone,

Does Spotlight need to index my TM disk? What would be the consequences of excluding it?

Regards

Yes I was thinking this too. What might happen if it is excluded? Anyone?

I've excluded my TM backup drive from Spotlight. Nothing bad to report!

What is saved from excluding Spotlight? Until more applications support TM (like iPhoto and Address Book), Spotlight is the easiest way of finding files via TM.
