I think I'm starting to understand. As you can see I'm completely new at this.

Presume that I set up the backup drive with 3 partitions:
A-for bootable backup of internal laptop drive
B-for external data HD backup
C-for other stuff manually copied

If I set up an automatic backup on connect would I need to select (mount?) a partition
before the backup would run ?

In other words would I select "A" partition to activate the external HD backup and "B" partition for the external data HD.

If this is the way it works it would be fine. I'm not trying to avoid a manual activation, I just want to make sure that I don't need to fill out option fields after the initial set up.
