iPartition - Resize disk partitions without formatting
Authored by: jscarry on Dec 01, '04 10:39:35PM

I have one machine that I use for staging. It has 30 partitions on it-one for each CD title that I sell and one for each OS I support. Each partition is just a bit larger than a CD, usually 750-800 MB. If someone calls in with a tech support question that I haven't heard before I can switch to the partition and see exactly what the CD looks like or boot up on the OS that is giving them trouble. It is also easy to make updates to the titles.

I also have a partition set up on a G5 that is exactly the same as my OSX server. I use it to do software updates before I update the live server. It also acts as a hot backup. If something happens to my server, I can just reboot the G5 into the server partition and I'm back up and running.
