[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1047314, member: 24160"] Anyone saying "no, you can't" simply has never used a TC. As DaFlake, wouldn't recommend carrying the TC from place to place. You can store other data on it right along side your TM backups - multiple partitions or a single partition - up to you. I have 2 Macs using TM to back up to my TC, plus have about 250 GB worth of my iTunes library sitting on there and all in a single partition. TM does not delete any existing data on the drives it uses for back up. However, if you move all your music, movies and photos there and delete them from your computer, it should be noted that you now have no backup for any of them, unless you are backing up your TC to another device. How? Use Finder - drag and drop - the same as you do for moving any other files around. [/QUOTE]
