If you did partition your existing drive into 80 G and a 179 G volumes, and want to actually accomplish the backup scheme originally discussed (small clone for bootability, large time machine for recovery of deleted files), you can do this: Turn off Time Machine. Rename the volumes to the opposite of what they were. Copy the Time Machine data over to the larger partition Turn ON time machine and see if it uses the newly renamed volume with the backups to back up. If so, you can erase the small volume and use it for your CCC or SuperDuper bootable clone. Note I'm not sure Time Machine will work like this, which is why I'm suggesting copying the data instead of moving it. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
