[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1646175, member: 46727"] You have two choices assuming you want to do manual backups: Leave the drive formatted as NTFS and purchase a driver which will allow the Mac to write to NTFS, or format the drive to the Mac standard file system - HFS+. Having said that, I highly recommend using the built in Time Machine backup application that ships with every Mac. External hard drives are inexpensive, treat yourself to a new one. ;D [/QUOTE]
