[iBook] Hard drive strategies

[Max Miles]

Carbon Copy Cloner makes a mirror, yes, and thus it doesn't allow for
other data to be written on the drive (data outside of the mirror
backup). So just partition the external into several drives. This way
you can have an exact replica of the internal, and space also to store
data from other sources.
