I've used CC to clone each computer on their own partition on the external drive (1 TB).

Now, I prefer using Super Duper to do my cloning and/or backup. To do so, must/should I have SuperDuper to erase and then to clone each computer to its partition or can I just backup each computer with SD as if it had done the original cloning?

Also, I understood that SD and Time Machine could each be used simultaneously but the preference is to use only SD and not use Time Machine's because of its space usage demands.

I hope this helps to clarify my post.
