Hi,
Perfectly safe if you have enough space for two partitions. I've done it
numerous times. Always good to do a backup first of course, but partitioning
on the active startup disk is a safe process.

I remember reading that SuperDuper (probably only the paid version)
can set up a "sandbox". In this configuration you have a stable copy
of the Macintosh applications and OS on a read-only partition, and
then SuperDuper will create aliases to those files on a second
partition. This way if
Hi Will
If you really want to make backups of your install discs I would not
keep them on the same drive
as your regular system, if the drive fails it will most likely not be
