Newbie Questions
I would like to start using SuperDuper for creating bootable backups and for sandboxing.
Do I need two partitions on my external drive? One for SuperDuper bootable backup and one for a sandbox? If so, What size should the bootable backup be? 1.5 X the used space on my computers internal drive? What size should my sandbox be? Thank you |

You will need two partitions. To determine the size you need for the Sandbox, create a Sandbox on a large partition. Add about 20% to the data size, and there's your size.

So, if I have an internal drive that has used 100 GB of space and I want to create a SuperDuper bootable clone, I would create a 120 GB partition on an external drive? (this assumes the 100 GB of data will not increase in the future)
And, if I also want to create a sandbox, then I would create an additional 120 GB partition on an external drive for a sandbox. Thus, I would have two 120 GB partitions on the external drive. Do I have this correct? Thanks, Jason |

No. I'm saying you would create a Sandbox, temporarily, on a large partition. Let's say it took up 30GB. Your partition size for the Sandbox would thus be about 40GB (I'm rounding up).
