Macos – Partition Hard Drive for use with Time Machine

macospartitioningtime-machine

Is it possible to partition a hard drive in two and use one partition for Time Machine and the other for other uses? I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5 if it makes any difference.

EDIT: For clarification for future references: I am wishing to do this with an external hard drive.

Best Answer

Yes, that is absolutely possible. Use Disk Utility, make the two partitions, and use the Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) filesystem for the partition you wish to use for Time Machine.
