[QUOTE="jah, post: 715467, member: 32736"] ck out third party mac applications like SuperDuper. this may come close to doing what you want? another issue is very few of these backup applications inc TimeMachine can do a bare metal restore. i would hate to have to test a backup app in that situation. TimeMachine you can make this app backup a mac onto a microsoft network file server. i am doing it at home. macbookpro->wifi->microsoft file server. the methods are not supported by apple. basically you type in a command string in the terminal and this enables the timemachine options to find ntfs storage. next you create a file myname.sparsebundle on your mac local drive of any size and copy it to the microsoft network file server. myname format is important, formed by the mac hostname+mac_address. as people are finding the timemachine backup file (myname.sparsebundle) continues to grow... if it is not contained in a partition you will have to delete it from time to time.
