[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1235703, member: 197775"] I have a mix of laptops and desktops to back up - 1 lap and 1 desk Win, and 1 laptop Mac. I'm trying to back all of them up using just 1 drive. Splitting the backup drive into Win and Mac parts would allow booting into one machine, but would also have the down side of fragmenting free space. At first glance, it seems that it would also allow backing up the Mac via USB, but the price for that would be too high - as it would also forbid me from backing up my Mac over the network. I used to use Acronis, but found Macrium to be better for some long forgotten reason. I think maybe it was that they demand a higher price for backing up "server" operating systems. [/QUOTE]
