IDrive 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.

If you want to include Time Machine folder in your backup set,

1. Go to the Settings tab.
2. Under Excluded Files / folders from backup section, select the Files/Folders with partial names option.
3. Uncheck the Backups.backupdb folder to remove it from the excluded files and folders list.
