[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 545879, member: 17032"] 1. Time Machine does not lock you out of the partition. It just creates a Backups.indb folder and works from there. So, you don't need to create so many partitions cause you will end up losing a lot of space. And transferring files among partitions also takes time. So you just make 1 partition. That's it. 1 partition. - Plug the drive and enable Time Machine on it. After the backup, you drop in your Leopard DMG (though you should make it a habit to keep these kinds of discs in the safe) - Then whenever you need to make a super duper backup, just target your external drive and make that backup in a new folder. - You can even use that drive to store your movies and other heavy files.
