OK, after reading the Super Duper manual a second time I think it is slowly making sense. I will give this a try but first Dave, could you please carefully look at my steps and tell me if I am doing this right? Thanks

Step #1
I will partition a 1 TB Hard Drive into 2 separate partitions. 1/2 for the mac OS and 1/2 for my work so 500 GB each. The entire drive has one partition scheme (GUID), and the volumes should be "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". I will give both partitions separate names like: "Mac OS" for one partition and "ARTWORK" for the other partition. Is this Correct?
BTW any ideas on names that might be appropriate?

Step #2
Now I will open Super Duper and Clone my mac Hard Drive to the 1 TB Hard Drive side named "Mac OS" using: "Backup ? all files" so it can be Bootable if need be. I will leave Repair Permissions "unchecked". The first time I copy files to an empty HD I will select: "Erase Backup, then copy files from Macintosh HD". Any subsequent backups I will use "Smart Update Sandbox from Macintosh HD" so Super Duper is only copying any "changed" files and not replacing everything. Is this correct?

Step #3
Now using Super Duper I would select my LaCie External Hard Drive and Clone it to the 1 TB Hard Drive side named "ARTWORK" using: "Backup ? all files". I will leave Repair Permissions "unchecked". The first time I copy files to an empty HD I will select: "Erase Backup, then copy files from Macintosh HD". Any subsequent backups I will use "Smart Update Sandbox from Macintosh HD" so Super Duper is only copying any "changed" files and not replacing everything. Is this correct?

Results
Now I have:
Mac Hard Drive - Mac OS and Applications only!
LaCie Hard Drive - Artwork only!
1 TB Hard Drive - 500 GB (OS and Applications) and 500 GB (Artwork)

Is this correct. Are there any steps or things I have missed or need to know?


Thanks
