Hi all. On one of my Mac minis running leopard, I have a 160GB external drive attached. I used superduper to put a backup of Tiger on the hard drive and then when Leopard was installed, time Machine also started using the hard drive. As the time Machine database gets bigger, is it going to erase my Tiger installation. If so, to prevent this, would I go in and delete the whole database and let Time Machine start over or can I just delete the earlier backups or will that confuse Time Machine? I'm also wondering: if I eventually use superduper to do a backup of Leopard and thus delete the old Tiger installation, can superduper do this without erasing my Time Machine database? I would think the answer to this would be "Yes", that as long as the Leopard backup isn't too large for the empty space I should be able to replace the Tiger superduper backup with the Leopard one without endangering my Time Machine database.
On top of this, I'm getting a new 320GB external disk for the Intel Mac mini; obviously I don't want Time Machine to use the whole hard drive. If I start time Machine first, can I then also use the external disk for other data at the same time? Tia. Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
