Hi,
I was looking into alternate ways of backing up my Macbook, since last time I ONLY backed up to my external hard drive it almost crashed to the point of no return. So, this time I was looking online and found something called Carbon Copy Cloner, which makes a bootable backup copy of my laptop's drive.
The question I have is, I already am using my 1TB external with 3 partitions. If I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup on one of the partitions not being used, will it erase everything on my external instead of just the partition I want to back it up on??
Thanks!
