[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1456695, member: 40142"] Time machine backs up everything apart from the core OS You can partition the hard disk, but if you wish you can still store other folders on a time machine disk But you may need to use the 1 TB drive, since it back-up your 500 gb disk and then adds all further files and changes over time (but also see sentence above) Seems odd that you need to keep doing fresh installs, perhaps using a program like ONYX would be better at keeping your Mac in shape without re-installing. I have done on;y 2 re-intalls, one from a failed hard disk and one from a hard disk upgrade, both times using Time machine to bring the system back from the dead [/QUOTE]
