Ok, new to the forum...just got a Mac for the first time...been reading this forum for a few days now (read over 60 pages of posts already). Thanks to everyone's contributions. This place is an excellent source of information.
I think I got an idea on how to back up my Mac but I just want to make sure one last thing. So I have an external HD that I'm using for my Windows that I'd like to use also as backup for my Mac. I know about the NTFS incompatibility. So does this mean that if I don't install Paragon, my backup will be useless when I use it one day? What about USB memory sticks? Can I use a stick to xfer data back and forth between Mac and Windows without compromising data integrity or do I have to format the stick in a certain way? I just want to make sure before I dive right in. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
