[QUOTE="chscag, post: 755264, member: 46727"] I found the best solution to backing up two different systems (Mac and PC) is to purchase and use two external drives. I have one external formatted to HFS+ which I use with "Carbon Copy Cloner" to image my Macintosh internal HDD and another external formatted to FAT-32 that I use for Windows XP. With todays large inexpensive external hard drives that are available, there really is no reason to put your data at risk. Of course you could always partition your external hard drive to accommodate both systems. One partition for HFS+ to use with Time Machine, the other formatted to FAT-32 or NTFS to use for Windows. Just make sure the drive is large enough to serve as a backup device for both. Regards. [/QUOTE]
