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!
