I'm sorry to have put you on a wrong foot, particularly as I have no quarrel with any of the points you made, to the contrary in fact. In the case slolerner is dealing with, however, there is only one (external) drive and one Mac with certain backup requirements. Until that changes, that means limited options, regardless of whether you deal with partitions or images on the external. Given slolerner's question about TM overflow, I just reiterated some things to consider, like the space competition point made in the link I added. The fact that the drive in the example is directly connected (vs. a networked drive) isn’t germane to that point, and perhaps unnecessarily confusing.
