Firstly apologies if this is a ridiculous question but storage is not one of my strong areas!
I have recently brought a new hard drive which I am about to split into 2 partitions, one for time machine and one for storing movies which i will access through itunes. My question however is what will happen if i am watching a film from one partition of the hard drive and then time machine attempts to do an hourly backup to the other partition? will the result be unnoticeable and my film continue to play perfectly? or will the film jump and stutter whilst its happening? as if its the second i may have to rethink my solution. Again apologies if this is the most rediculous question one could ask,
Many thanks,
Mark
