Your statement "PS It doesnt really make much sense to create partitions
to store data, as if the drive fails so does your data." is flawed. You
backup on a seperate partition to store data but not in case the hard
drive fails. (which these days almost never happens) You make the backup
to save your files from virus's which usually only attack the Patition
in which your OS is installed on. Delete infected partition, install
backup ur back!

Some bad assumptions there.

Your statement "PS It doesnt really make much sense to create partitions

No, it's not flawed. It is a reality.

You backup on a seperate partition to store data but not in case the hard
drive fails. (which these days almost never happens)


Drives still fail at the same rate they always have. Backups should always
be done to a separate physical drive, never to another volume on the same
drive. This is a standard practice used by most business and strongly
encouraged by any technician worth his/her salt.

You make the backup
to save your files from virus's which usually only attack the Patition
in which your OS is installed on. Delete infected partition, install
backup ur back!


Another flawed assumption, and a really dangerous one. When it comes to
viruses, if they are geared to attack a specific file type - can you say "I
love you"? - then it won't matter what volume they are on. They are only
safe if they are on media that is not attached to the system.

PS: For any that don't understand the "I love you" reference, read:
