[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 680556, member: 24098"] I'm not terribly familiar with CarbonCopyCloner, but from what I understand, much like SuperDuper, it needs the entire partition free to do a backup. Anything else that resides in that partition will be overwritten. So, making an adequately sized partition, dedicated to backups would not be a bad idea if you intend to store other data on it as well. [/QUOTE]
