[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 410995, member: 24160"] Part of the reason for having a back-up is to have zero down time when a drive fails. Not only to just have all your stuff backed up. With SuperDuper, when it creates a bootable back-up it erases everything on the drive prior to the back-up. For this reason, I created 2 partitions on my external drive. The first, only large enough to create a cloned, bootable, exact copy of my internal drive. Nothing else goes on this partition except your continuing incremental back-ups. The other larger partition is then available for whatever else you may want to store on it. [/QUOTE]
