External HDD partition steps

[a2jack]

New SATA 500g spinner in Plugable dock. Is this done in TM, or ?

What steps to get 2 or 3 partitions ?

Can I save an older Back-up already on disk and still add new partitions ?

You do these things with Disk Utility.

First, erase (I recommend Mac OS extended with journaling enabled, GUID partition format, also known as HFS+)

Then, go to the partition pane and set up your partitions as desired.

That was easy. LOL

New, $23, 500g SATA HDD from Amazon runs fine. Will back up 6 old machines. Thank you.
