Time Machine backs up every file stored on your Mac to an external drive. Since this is a complete backup, it includes every system file, preference, application, and other piece of data from your Mac. This means you won’t lose anything if you need to restore a backup from Time Machine.

BackupIDrive can backup the Time Machine data to your account. This provides additional protection to your Mac including system files, applications, accounts, preferences, music, photos, movies and documents.
However, if you have selected all required files/folders that needs to be backed up from your Mac then there is no need to backup Time Machine data again as it will duplicate the backup data on your IDrive account. To avoid this duplicate copy, by default IDrive will exclude Time Machine data ('Backups.backupdb') folder from your backup.Time machine backup url

Time Machine Backup To Network Drive

Note: Backing up Time Machine data with IDrive does not work very well, because Time Machine will not recognize the backed up data for recovery at a later point of time. Additionally, if Time Machine data is included in your IDrive backup, your archive can grow to many times the size of the actual files being backed up, resulting in unnecessary multiple copies of the same file.
