I have a 750gb hd in my mac and only about 400 gb is full.
I have a 2TB external drive and will be buying another. I was thinking one for time machine and the other for a carbon copy cloner backup.
I then got to thinking why not partition the drives so that I could have the TM and CCC backups on both? I was thinking 750 GB for the CCC and 1250GB for the TM. I could keep one drive at home and it would backup at night, and the other would be kept at work and backup during the day.
Any downside to having a two partition backup disk like this? Obviously if something happened to the disk I would lose both the CCC and TM backup but I would have both on the other drive. versus if I used a drive for each I would potentially lose either the TM or the CCC if I had a drive failure.
