[iBook] Now What????

[Mark Kippert]

As several people have suggested, partition your external into 3  
volumes using Apple's Disk Utility. However I would suggest using an  
excellent utility called SuperDuper (as in duplicating). I've found  
it to be a more dependable utility for cloning drives (compared to  
CarbonCopyCloner) and can also be used for free.  If you pay the $27  
shareware fee it allows you to do Smart backups (incremental) and  
schedule backups.

It makes bootable backups (you can boot FireWire drives only, not  
USB) and is great for restoring a drive, as I had too recently after  
sending my PowerBook to Apple to have the optical drive replaced.  
Oddly, they also replaced my hard drive which was working perfectly.
