HI Ronni, I've had a good look over those links, thanks for them. The multi partitioning approach to a large external drive seems the best way to store 5 Clones simply. How do I get a rough idea of total capacity required for a clone image? I'd like to predetermine how much the 5 clones in aggregate will be so I can have a drive with room to spare.
