[QUOTE="todd51, post: 1095430"] Usually Time Machine dedicates the entire drive for backups, however you could always re-format the drive and partition it using Disk Utility. This allows you to split the hard drive into two different partitions (think of it as "sections"). You can choose how big you want each partition to be. Then Time Machine will dedicate itself to one partition, and you can use the other partition for anything else. [/QUOTE]
