Oh ok I think I understsand clearer now. Yes you're right using a FAT partition would not matter if I were copying disk images. I apologize, I was explaining it wrong! I don't plan on first "packing" my drives into image files, I just want direct partition-to-partition copies of my drives onto the backup. So theoretically I could plug the drive into my computer and browse the files on my backups. Now that we're (hopefully) on the same page, how do you think I should proceed?

I might consider doing optical media for my powerbook, as that is the computer on which I actually use for "work". My PC is purely a gaming (more specifically, flight-simming

) machine, and making optical backup of that is not necessary. Thank god too since 60GB is a lot of DVDs!
