> - back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE% %APPDATA% lives in %USERPROFILE% as far as I can tell. > - separate "data" partition on D:, backed up Since you already back up your %USERPROFILE%, which supposedly lives on C:, what benefit is there in having "data" on a separate partition?

It can be a lot clearer organizationally to keep things created intentionally on a separate partition, to distinguish from all the stuff dumped into your profile by applications. And if you fill up the "data" partition accidentally it doesn't prevent the system from functioning.
