since i will for sure upgrade to leopard in october - time machine being the main influencer .
1)I wanted to know: since I have a 500 gb hard drive , when i buy a external hard drive to work with time machine , will i need equivalent amount of space ( 500gb) or can i buy lower like 250 Gb?
2)Also would a firewire hard-drive be better>? faster?
3) lets say i did get a 500 Gb external hard-drive...can i use half of it for time machine (250gb) and other half for extra space?
thx in advance...
