[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1267249, member: 197651"] 2 backup apps to a single drive leaves you with 1 point of failure for everything. You never want a single point of failure for backups. Ever. First: dedicate the whole drive to Time Machine. Let it do what it was designed to do and you will be OK. Second: Data that absolutely cannot be lost, back up separately to some other media. I would recommend DL-DVDs (Dual Layer) - 8GB each. [/QUOTE]
