Should I keep My Documents on C and Videos, Music etc on D ?
Hello all,
Two partitions: C(OS,PROGRAMS) and D(DATA).
Reason: Backups. So i can reinstall an image of C while keeping untouched my personal files.
Question: Is it better to keep the My Documents folder on C ?
Reason: Some programs tend to save their settings and parameters in that folder. In case of crash, I want to be able to put back my OS and programs, and to have them working exactly like before and not having to reajust all of their settings!, or even worse, having some programs bug because of missing/incoherent settings.
Idea: Keeping the My Documents folder on C. Having another "RealDocuments" folder on D where I actually put my personal documents.
What are your thoughts and advises ?
Idea I don't want to implement: Moving the whole Users folder on the D partition.
Reason: It's a system folder. It's considered part of the OS. Therefore If i want to make a backup of the OS and programs I also have to backup the entire D parition which is much bigger. I won't do that.
What do you think ?
