[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 751577, member: 50033"] A 'sparsebundle' is created for each computer. A sparsebundle is similar to the library used by iPhoto and Aperture. It contains a lot of files, but shows up in Finder as a single file. So, basically a separate backup file is created for each computer. They show up together in the root directory of the TC hard drive. The TC is a wireless-N router and an external hard drive combined in the same little white box. The built in hard drive shows up in Finder like any other external drive. You can read and write to it as you please. In Windows, the TC hard drive shows up in Windows Explorer/My Computer just like any other external drive. You can read and write to it in Windows as well. You can see the Time Machine sparsebundle files listed in My Computer, but you can't open or view them. [/QUOTE]
