[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1528320, member: 46727"] Creating a partition on the primary hard drive and using it for backups is self defeating. What good is a backup going to do when the hard drive fails? Buy her an external hard drive to go along with that brand new MacBook Pro and teach her how to make backups to it using Time Machine. The same external hard drive can be partitioned to hold images and the Time Machine backups. Just make sure you buy one that's large enough. [/QUOTE]
