[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1829257, member: 204485"] Jake, point well taken but it was merely an example of what can be done with partitioning, I said, I [U]used to use[/U] a 1Gb USB HD divided into two equal partitions for a [U]portable[/U] backup. I don't do that any more, I use a second bootable clone nowadays (the other remains at home) for trips overseas. Not only do I have more that one copy of all my backups but i would never suggest "putting all ones eggs in one basket" like that as an only backup. I could just as easily have suggested one partition for photos and the other for documents. The point I was making was that this is easier to decide at the beginning rather than after the device is in use. [/QUOTE]
