will time machine work with 2nd internal HD in macpro

It should. When you install Leopard try it and find out.

Some other article outside apple official stated that as long as it is on differ partition or hard drive, internal, external (usb, firewire), or network attached storage HD, you can use it for Time Machine.

But on apple official only mention external and NAS, so you can give it a shot or wait until apple officially stated that posibility.

Good Luck.

I hope so!

I was gonna ask the same question. I have 2 nice fast SATA HD's in my old 1.6 PPC G5.

Hopefully we can get an answer here soon!

Woo Hoo! this is my first "Buy it the day it launches" so wish me luck even getting it from FedEx (which always arrives while I am at work & has to some back the next day)

Yes - I have installed Leopard on my MacPro with a 2nd 500GB SATA and TM asked me if I wanted to use it as a Backup Device.

while doing this sort of 'backup' is convenient doesn't it only cover you if your main drive fails? It would make sense to have not only this TM setup but also one that moves data to another drive/machine not always powered up or in the same physical location as your main machine.

YYYeessss!!!!

Thank you!!
