Facilitate backup with good partitioning
Authored by: adriaant on Aug 28, '01 02:55:44AM
I recently reformatted my mac according to a new partition scheme as posted on my xtips site. In this partition scheme, both Applications and Users are on different partition. This way, you can just backup Applications and Users, and reinstall OSX from the installer disk if necessary. In addition, I install unix tools using fink, so I have another partition for the fink installed files. The idea is to put as much user changable stuff on other partitions. Just my 2 cents!
