Don't worry, I generally have four BFS partitions on each computer,
with at least three of them running Haiku. One partition on each
machine will certainly be running R1A4.1, and the other two will
probably be running a build with PM, if possible.
I remember this saved me the one year, as I had some BFS corruption
happen, and ultimately had to reboot into another partition. It was
definitely a good idea to have some backup partitions, that's for
sure.
