I have my hard drive partitioned (it came that way). My local disk C is big
with LOTs of room while the other (presrio P) is where my back up goes and
it is almost full. I looked to see what I could delete but it is all dated
today. Is there a way I can move some space from C over? I keep getting a
low disk space message and it bugs me.

Thanks in advance.

Careful...that partition that is almost full may be the system restore
partition used by your PC's vendor. Check your PC's manual or web site
to be certain. If it is, do *not* use it to store your own data...leave
it alone.

No. Or at least, not easily.

You'll need to repartition your hard drive.

Keeping backups on the same drive, or even the same machine, is a poor idea.
What happens if your machine is stolen?

Or the hard drive fails?

Or it is involved in a fire?
