[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1324542, member: 46727"] You're going to need two separate hard drives: One for normal Time Machine backups, the second to backup your NTFS drive. The reason... Time Machine will only back from a drive formatted to HFS Extended Journaled (in other words the Mac file system). Also, in order to backup a drive that's formatted to NTFS you're either going to have to do that on a Windows machine or a straight copy. Another alternative is to install Windows on your new Mac either using the Boot Camp assistant or Virtual Machine software. [/QUOTE]
