[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1238466, member: 131855"] Excellent advice Chas. I have a similar setup to yours. I have a system clone on hand with Time Machine devoted to a different drive. We won't even go into the growing collection of media drives and scratch disks. Right now my Time Machine backup is housed on an external drive attached to my Time Capsule. I have been thinking though that I might partition a large drive and put the system clone on one partition and the Time Machine backup on the other partition. I would have to remember to clone the system portion of the drive regularly but that's not too bad. I could run that on a regular schedule or any time there was a significant system change such as OS update or major software installation. Time Machine would back up the data automatically. [/QUOTE]
