[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1264976, member: 24160"] ??? Not really sure how much plainer language that can get. Is your TM backup on your internal drive? - No? - then it will delete that. Is your iTunes media folder on your internal drive? - No? - then it will delete that. [B]Do not[/B] create a bootable backup on a partition where you are storing any other data. I personally would not recommend keeping a bootable backup and a TM backup on the same drive. But, if you insist, you need to have each one in it's own partition, not the same partition. I would also recommend you do [B]nothing[/B] to that external drive until you have [B]it[/B] backed up unless you are willing to take the risk of losing your entire iTunes media. You want a bootable backup, then you need to get yourself another drive - and make it one that's large enough to backup not only your internal drive, but also your iTunes media (since at this time, you apparently have none of it backed up at all).
