Until today I used a 2TB mains powered external drive for regular Time Machine backups and weekly SuperDuper manual updates, partitioned equally.
In an effort to save some energy I have now transferred the Time Machine backups to a solid-state drive and renamed the partition “Media” where I have stored old photos and music. This is so I can leave the drive switched off until I need to update SuperDuper or access the media.
While it’s not necessary at the moment I want to reduce the size of the Media partition to 500 Gb and increase the SuperDuper to 1.5 Tb, I have tried to do this in Disk Utility but it will not allow me to. If I reduce the Media partition it creates a new Untitled partition and will not allow me to increase the SuperDuper partition.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve this please? Sorry for the long question.
Screenshot attached, thanks.
