[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1324754, member: 131855"] Although it's usually best practice to have Time Machine on a separate drive or partition, it's not absolutely necessary. My current Time machine drive has several gigs worth of other files on the same drive with no problem. If the drive is going to be directly connected to the Mac for backup, as opposed to over a network, make sure the drive is formatted as HFS+ if it is not already formatted that way. [/QUOTE]
