Time Machine backup on one hard disk and one partition? 10.5.2 Rev.2, Thanks
I need want to backup my system using Time Machine. However, I only have one hard disk with one partition. Is there any way I can possibly still set up a backup method using time machine? Would appreciate it. Thank you.

I'll try, thanks for that suggestion.
[cite] roisoft:did you try making another partition on the same HD? if you are using GUID you can split your drive without lost data. I don´t know if time machine support this way.
Yep, it works. Thanks a lot roisoft. I never tried Time Machine, this is why I asked. Works like a charm created a 150gb partition on the same HD. =) Success.
