[QUOTE="Chef_eam, post: 1073854, member: 135390"] Time Machine will not back up the Bootcamp partition, you will need separate windows backup software for that. A lot of people use Super Duper and Carbon Copy Cloner to make clones of their drives. I don't use them, but they may make an image of the entire drive including the bootcamp partition, but someone that uses them will have to answer that. As far as the size of the drive goes, I read somewhere that the drive you use for Time Machine should be at least as big as your main drive, but I don't know if that is a must or not. I also keep most of my documents on a separate drive, and use the main drive for applications and mainly working documents, with backups on my storage drive. I have a 1TB drive in the iMac, a 1TB drive used for Time Machine and a 1TB drive as my storage drive. Both externals stay connected all the time. Some may say it's overkill to have 3TB of storage, but it's what works for me as I often work with large scene files in various 3D applications. [/QUOTE]
