[QUOTE="Moro, post: 1636492, member: 318426"] Hi, I've owned a 13" MBA for just over a year now and this coming week my new 21.5" iMac will be arriving to replace my Windows 7 PC, so I'm not a total OS X newbie. The iMac has a 1Tb HDD and I'm after advice as to whether I should partition the drive as I've always done with my Windows PCs so that I have Data, Photos & Music on seperate volumes? This has always seemed logical to me to ease data backup & imaging of the Windows partition. I'll be using both Time Machine & CCC on the iMac, so should I leave things as standard & use these tools to run indivdual backups of each data type and OS image? Should I maybe move the Home folder to a seperate volume/partition as an easier option? You may well tell me to let go of the old Windows ways now that I'm moving into the light! I'd love to hear how you experienced Mac users organise your data & backup routines. Thanks in advance, Bill [/QUOTE]
