winserver2012r2. How to correctly divide (or not divide) a hard drive into a system one, etc.?

Question

Hard disks

Hello everyone, there is a virtual machine MWS2012R2 on CentOS 6, a disk for Windows 1024GB, it is planned to run a web server on it with user data storage (video, photos, logs).
Is it worth dividing the disk into system and normal (for example, C - 200gb, D - 824gb)?
server backups are planned separately on another physical disk.

Answer 1

It was already advised to separate the system and data, but you can also allocate a separate disk for swap. What would not interfere with the backup.

Answer 2

in half is the best option.

Answer 3

Yes, you do need to share. On an industrial scale, it would be nice to have a database and logs on separate disks.
