Hi,
I have three computers in the house full of docs & apps. In the past I have just done very crude back-ups of documents onto cds.
I'm not sure how to do better. It seems like I need to partition my drives before I can backup with shirtpocket but when I read about partitioning I read that I should back up first.
What is first?
Also, it seems that Disk Utility is only good for partioning drives if the drives are empty. Since mine are not empty do I also need to buy partitioning software such as iPartition or DiskStudio?
I am reading the MacWorld Article at

to try to figure this out. Any adivce?
Thanks
