is it possible to move the folder "documents and settings"
to a different partition for easy backup reasons...?

How can one do this?

Yes, and the method is documented on the MS Knowledge Base in article #
310147. Here is a synopsis.
To change the default location of the My Documents folder, follow these
steps:
1.. Click Start, and then point to My Documents.
2.. Right-click My Documents, and then click Properties.
3.. Click the Target tab.
4.. In the Target box, do one of the following:
a.. Type the path to the folder location that you want, and then click
OK. For example, D:\My Stuff.

If the folder does not exist, the Create Message dialog box is
displayed. Click Yes to create the folder, and then click OK.

-or-
b.. Click Move, click the folder in which to store your documents, and
then click OK twice.

If you need to create a new folder, click Make New Folder. Type a name
for the folder, and then click OK twice.
5.. In the Move Documents box, click Yes to move your documents to the new
location, or click No to leave your documents in the original location.
