[QUOTE="jsgreen, post: 545784, member: 42487"] I'm a noob Mac user with a 20" iMac 750Gb HD running Leopard. I have ordered an external HDD (750 Gb) from OWC and want to use it as a backup drive. Afer a bunch of Google searches, here is the plan I have settled on (wishing I could give credit to the sources of the ideas but I forget): I plan to use Time Machine for regular backups, but am aware that doing a full system restore might be better using Super Duper (when it becomes available for Leopard). Create partitions on the external HDD: 1) 10Gb for an image of the Leopard install DVD (in case I lose the DVD or can't boot from the DVD drive) 2) 300Gb partiton for Super Duper for System Restore (when it becomes available for Leopard) 2) 3??Gb (whatever is left over) partition for Time Machine to do its voodoo Am I missing anything here?
