iPartition (and Disk Utility in some limited situations) can change partition sizes nondestructively.

Thanks, What do you mean by? "If you want to store other items on the drive you'll want another partition". Please explain.

The "Mac HD Backup" partition would include the OS and all applications. (And would be "Bootable")
The "Artwork Backup" partition would include video, 3D, graphics, word files etc. (Not Bootable)

Not sure what another partition would be used for. Do you think I've given too much for the "Artwork Backup" partition? Please explain!

Are these the correct instructions to format my 2TB external drives.
