Safe to use external HD for both 'Macrium Images' and Personal files?
-I have a 2TB external HD (lets call this ExHD_1) that I am currently using to create 'Images' of only my SSD. I think having 2 months worth of the SSD image is enough, then when I create a new one, I then delete the one at the back of the queue...if that makes sense...
-Anyway, I also currently manually backup personal file i.e photos, documents,music, work projects, onto another separate 2TB external HD (lets call this ExHD_2). So this is 1 form of backing up files so far!
-People say to backup your important work multiple times, so I am wondering..
Can I use 'ExHD_1' to, not only store my Macrium Images of my SSD, but to also store personal files, like the photos, important projects etc?
I understand the whole restoring method, although I havent actually done it before, my rescue CD works and I plugged my ExHD_1 and was able to locate the 'SSD Images'.
I feel that having important files, as well as the images, will cause a confusion when (if I was to restore), and the personal files would be removed or something like that?
Is this completely safe to do so? Use ExHD_1 for both images and personal files?
Many Thanks! :)
