I have actually a 2tb hdd with 70gb systempartion.
I need some hints how you backup your data, be it photos/videos and other data.
What partition sizes should i set and which external drivesize is suitable. Should it also be partitioned?
I already have reserved 200gb by establishing acronis security zone for systempartitions backup. have its big enough. more than two versions would not be needed or do i err?
I fear external NAS Raid-enclosures.

I use SyncBackFree to keep folder contents straight to my USB hdds. And use CloneZilla for my imaging monthly again to a folder on the USB drives.
That is what works for me, so you need to find out what works best for you. Took me a while to figure out what I need to do that satified me.

acronis true image and other telling that receiver hdd must not be smaller. That mean if external shows 931gb datapartition of internal drive must be 931 or a bit smaller, right? should i set systemrecoverysize to zero for the external? and recycle bin?

SynchBackFree does not have incremential backup. How do you handle that? Backing up all data always?

I manually sync, I do not worry about auto syncing as my USB hdds are only connected while I do the backing up.

Remember, 2 of my 3 USB hdds are off site at all times.

Fire, theft, etc., are my reasons for the off site bit.
