I tried to use migration assistant on a second user account on my RMBP. I have been trying to get the email account off of the time machine backup for a while with no luck, specifically need to the sent folder. Anyways, tried the migration assistant and mid transfer, it crapped out, the drive disconnected (connected via USB2) for some reason. Not wanting to deal with it anymore I put it all away and logged back into my account. I noticed that time machine was not backing up, said the drive was not available even though I saw my drive on the desktop. Went into preferences>time machine and saw the name of the backup drive I was trying to use on the other account. I selected a new disk, it asked if I wanted to replace and something else, I cant remember. I was worried that it would erase all my old backups and start fresh again, so now I am left with 2 drives for backup, and it still shows the exclamation mark under time machine, I am guessing because it has not backed up to the other drive.

How do I delete the "Backup" and leave just the "RMBP TimeMachine" without erasing everything on the RMBP TimeMachine? This is in Mountain Lion, latest updates.
******solved******** Just as I submitted this thread I noticed the "Add or Remove Backup Disks" in my image, and removed there. Simple and easy, just missed it for some reason, ignore the question, I successfully answered it myself :)
