Just started using SoftRAID on an OWC 32TB Thunderbay IV configured at RAID 0. Now, Time Machine wants to back up all data on the new volume. However, I'm not able to exclude the RAID 0 volume from Time Machine because it doesn't appear in the preferences.
Time Machine pops up with an error message saying the destination drive isn't big enough for Time Machine to completely back up the disk.
Obviously, I can disconnect the Thunderbay drive and run Time Machine, but that is a workaround that doesn't always make sense.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you can exclude any SoftRAID volume.
Go to Time Machine preferences.
Select Options
Click the + button
Select the SoftRAID volume (or any folder in the volume)
It will appear in the exclusions list
Pretty simple!

Done. Too simple. I assumed the volume would appear in the "exclude" window. Didn't realize I had to seek & identify any/all volumes to exclude.
Thank you very much.
