How so, no matter how you do the directory structure, if you need to back up 
everything, it's going to take the same amount of space....

I personally have several partitions, down to 4 from like 6 or 8 on my laptop

Windows
Apps
Data
Misc (and storage for burning cd/dvd's)

My desktop still has a gazillion partitions
Windows
apps
data
internet
games
swap file
Misc

When I get around to upgrading it to XP from 2k, I'll likely go down to 4  
partitions. With most clients I just leave the single partition but create a 
folder called c:\data into which all data is configured to go, including 
remapping the mydocs folder to go into c:\data.

The makes data backups easily, just backup one folder.
