[QUOTE="pattb, post: 1332406, member: 121336"] I just purchased a 1T WD Passport SE. I want to use it as a portable external backup to keep with me away from my office. I have a time capsule that does automatic backups, so the Passport will be a second backup. Should I use Carbon Copy Cloner? I love the idea of having this be a bootable hard drive. But I also would like to use it for an external drive to store things outside of my internal drive, since I have limited space. (I'm installing a 320 G internal, but I'm doing work for clients that will be large files that I don't want to keep on my internal drive.) Is it possible to do both? If so do I need to partition the Passport? Or how do I do it? My computer is a 12" PowerBook G4 running OS 10.5 I would really appreciate any suggestions... [/QUOTE]
