[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1261371, member: 197775"] I have not tried to do a full restore using my windows time machine backup, but I have restored individual files. It'll get a good workout when I put a new drive in there, but for the time being, since file restore works, I'm assuming that a full restore would also work. Your operating system of choice does not need to know how to read/write HFS+. By virtue of communicating with the Mac over a network, both machine speak to each other using Samba - a file system that is understood by all operating systems. The down side is that you must communicate over a network. I might not, for example, plug my USB drive into my Mac and expect it to read the sparcebundle directly from NTFS. I understand that there are some HFS solutions out there for Windows - the one that comes with the Seagate 1.5T USB drive, for example. But I have read about reliability problems with those drivers - mostly bad news, not much good news. As a result, I didn't want to risk it. [/QUOTE]
