Shadow copies are a nicety and pretty much "just work" in my
experience. Whether you'll need them or not depends on your backup
strategy and user knowledge/experience!
I don't see any advantage in splitting the partition up, assuming its
RAID'ed in some way (I'd assume so, from your description). All it
will give you is lots of different drive letters to manage and slow
copying from one share to another. If you dont split it, it might be
just as easy to make folders in the root of the partition and call
them the drives!
There may be something I'm missing though, so lets see what others say ;)

If you copy and paste data, you'll have to go through and apply ALL
the ACL's onto it again.. If you use something like robocopy then it
can copy the ACL's over with the data, saving you effort.
