Hi, Chris. I didn't elaborate because it's relatively simple to do. First, partition your destination into three (or use three different drives, or two, or whatever) -- one volume for the daily, one for the weekly, and one for the monthly.

Then, set up the three backups using our scheduler. One is daily -- so, all weeks and all days. One weekly -- all weeks, one day. One monthly -- one day, one week.

That's all there really is to it.

You can boot from a volume of a bootable drive. A "normal" drive has one volume (partition). You can create more, of course... and all drives support partitions, it's not a hardware function. I don't know why Iomega says that, frankly.

You can store a Sandbox on your external as well, no problem. Just remember that you have to boot and run from a Sandbox for it to be truly useful.

Hope that helps.
