[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 768017, member: 3850"] A backup partition on your internal drive is no good: If the drive fails, you'll just lose it along with your main partition. If you meant on an external drive, a good rule of thumb is to make it 1.5x your internal drive if you have the space. If you don't have that much space, you can exclude files you don't want to backup (System files, default applications, unimportant data) and make the backup partition slightly larger than the size of all your "important" files.
