Subject: Wanted: recommendations on HD partitioning software

The subject line says it all.  I've seen about 3 different partitioning
programs.  One is the SUM II partitioning init/DA, another is the
Multipartition init/DA that comes with Disk Express, and the third is
2 DA's, one called Hard Disk Partition 2.0, and it's companion is
called Mount/Unmout.  

I guess I really want the partitioning software for doing backups.
I only want to frequently backup documents that I work on often.
I can get by backing up other software less frequently.  
Thus, by partitioning, I can hopefully just backup the partition
of my choosing.

I'd like to hear any comments/caveats/etc on partitioning software
in general, along with recommendations.

Thanks in advance.
