[QUOTE="6string, post: 1175475, member: 120039"] You can partition the drive if you want. You can also backup more than 1 Mac on one ext. HD without partitioning it. It will just create different backup folders for different computers. ie. (Non Partitioned) klv's Mabook Pro klv's iMac Klv's mum's Macbook klv's dad's Mac Pro (Partitioned) 1: klv's Mabook Pro klv's iMac Klv's mum's Macbook klv's dad's Mac Pro 2: klv's Carbon Copy Cloner 3: klv's movies .....you get the gist of it :) I have my external partitioned for Time Machine Backups and Bootable Clones. When I visit my mother interstate, I backup her Macbook onto my Time Machine partition as I know how she messes things up quite often, and it is good for me to have a non corrupted backup for her seeing that hers will most likely be corrupted :D [/QUOTE]
