OK, so my powerbook has an 80gb drive. I have a 160gb external fw drive. I have used Super Duper to duplicate my drive, and now have a bootable backup that I update daily. I also have an external drive that I use as an archive of stuff not on my machine. Can I use the extra space on the external to back up stuff from the other external drive too? If so, what's the best way to do it?
Thanks!

It sounds like the best thing to do would be to partition the external.
