Thanks Dave.
So, if I understand correctly, creating a sandbox will create symbolic links of my symbolic links. I can see how that may cause problems! At the moment Dropbox doesn't allow synching of folders that are not contained within the dropbox folder. What it does now allow this selective synching of those folders, rather than having to sync all of them. I'll let you know how I get on should I decide to proceed with this plan. |

Well, that depends. It'll copy the same symbolic links, which will be relative the same way they were before... which may end up with double-linkage, depending on what you are doing. Should be fine if al application handles paths right...
I had hoped Dropbox has loosened its folder restrictions a bit - ah well.

Please can you cast your eye over this strategy, Dave?
Current: iMac with internal 2Tb drive. No partitions. External 2TB firewire drive with SD backup img. Apple Timecapsule Timemachine backup of iMacHD. Hourly. Proposed: Erase and partition iMac internal 2Tb drive then restore from External 2TB firewire drive SD backup img to achieve the following: iMac with 2Tb internal drive. 2partitions: iMacHD and Sandbox. External 2Tb firewire drive with SD Smart Update img of both iMac partions. Daily. Additional External 2Tb firewire drive with SD img of iMacHD. Monthly. Apple Timecapsule Timemachine backup of iMacHD. Hourly. Is this a sound strategy, overly complex, redundant in some way? |

In general, there's little reason to back up a Sandbox: it's intended to be a 'temporary' location where you're running from while testing updates...
