I'm about to backup everything on my laptop before I take it to Glastonbury festival and get it filled with mud. I have an external hard drive for this purpose - brand new 250GB LaCie Rugged, which I intend to also use for transporting files in the future.
I'm going to use Carbon Copy to backup, and I thought - should I partition the LaCie to make a 70GB (the size of the laptop HD) drive for the backup/laptop clone? Would it be happier like that? I'd rather leave it unpartitioned as it's more flexible that way, but I don't want to end up with it swamped full of files and getting mixed up further down the line
Advice & guidance much appreciated!
