[QUOTE="nishkambharti, post: 1757028, member: 392159"] [SIZE=4][COLOR="#0000CD"]thanks a lot. that clears quite a lot of confusion. however, have a few more questions: 1) can the internal disk have an expanded volume clubbing it with the external drive making it a big volume using disk utility? this can help in having bigger fcpx libraries span across internal and external disk instead of completely moving the whole library to the external disk. 2) will backup not be better than cloning? in case of a raid 1 mirror, there is a chance that if one disk corrupts, it will copy the corrupted data to the second one. 3) does TM keep a bootable image of mac while backing up? guess it should. this will be helpful in case the mac crashes completely. 4) can the ntfs partition on the external disk be changed to mac OS HFS+ without formatting /losing the current data? thanks again in advance.[/COLOR][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
