Advice requested re setting up new backup process
I'm hoping that I can get some advice about setting up a new backup procedure. I have read quite a bit in the discussions and help but am still not sure how to proceed.
My situation is this: I have a MBP with a 300GB hard drive. I have a brand new 1TB external drive. I want to use both SuperDuper! as well as Time Machine. Questions: 1. How many partitions should I make on the external drive? Do I make one for SD and one for TM? Or do I need more for SD? I have read about people making one for a bootable backup and one for a general backup (not quite sure why this would be needed). 2. How big should these partitions be? Am I correct in thinking that the SD partition (if just one) need be no larger than the source drive ie it can't grow? Should I therefore make one partition 300GB and the other 700GB for TM? Or is it not necessary for the TM to be this big? 3. A slightly unrelated question: If I attach 2 external drives, can I get SD to back up to 2 drives simultaneously? Thanks very much for any help.
