[QUOTE="g3g4, post: 1363468, member: 26072"] Haven't done it yet, but I have seen how lion can be installed along with, rather than instead of snow leopard. At start-up, user can opt for mac to boot one or other (each os is installed onto its own partition of internal HD). What I was asking above is how to set up a partitioned ext. HD so that a partition can be assigned to back up (via Time Machine) the corresponding partition of the internal drive, rather than everything at once, thus keeping a lion back up as well as a snow leopard back up separate from each other. If mac booted up in lion, TM makes back up of only lion, etc. Hope that makes sense and thanks very much for the prompt reply, Jeff [/QUOTE]
