i bought base 2011 mac mini today replace pc has been used home file server. way pc set up, had master hard drive inside had programs , slave drive, inside, had 4 folders in (documents, music, photos, videos).
while know can mess around , add 2nd hard drive new mini, i'd prefer not @ time. want to, if makes sense, partition stock 500 gb drive 50 gb lion , apps , remaining 450 gb emulate slave drive used have on pc.
there issues approach? 1 main consideration want make sure can connect external 1tb hdd , use time machine backup. i've never ran tm on partitioned drive before , wondering if have hiccups during backup or restore. one-click backup both drives similar when backup macbook air (which not partitioned)? tm easiest backup/restore program have ever used , want keep way. thanks!
it work time machine.
