[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1476199, member: 46727"] Not recommended. I would keep the CCC and TM backups separate on two drives rather than partition the G-Tech. If the G-Tech drive fails, you've lost both your backups. Not a good backup strategy. Also, what's wrong with erasing the LaCie drive and using it for Time Machine? What are you going to do with TM backups that are three years old? You can also selectively remove old TM backups from the LaCie and only keep the recent ones. (Say, in the last 6 months or so.)
