Partitioning is supported on MIPS, TILE, and PowerPC RouterBOARD type devices.
...
If a partition should fail for some reason (failed upgrade, problematic configuration introduced, software problem), the next partition will boot instead. This can be used as an interactive backup where you keep a verified working installation , and upgrade only some secondary partition. If you upgrade your configuration, and it proves to be good, you can use the "save config" button to copy it over to other partitions.

- 32MB on MIPS
