[QUOTE="richarda1, post: 970367, member: 137760"] Hi. Roughly on the same topic ... I am still in transition between PC and Mac. Have installed windows with bootcamp but without parallels or fusion (don't see the need to run both pc and mac at once!?!). Have not yet loaded my files as I need to find out: a) which side to load my files on (ie pc or mac - I unfortunately will still need to use windows and therefore need to be able to access files from both sides) ... I understand that mac will read files on the windows side but not vice versa b) the best way to use Time Machine to back up all files ... I understand that Time Machine won't back up files on the pc side without parallels or equivalent c) Has anyone had experience with NTFS for Mac? - [url=http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/index.html]PARAGON Software Group - NTFS for Mac, communication channel between Mac OS X and Windows[/url] It apparently allows files to be read from both pc and mac sides and therefore I could place them all on the mac side and have Time Machine do its thing. On the surface of it this seems to be the option for me to go with. I'm impressed thus far with the Mac but will be a far happier man when these decisions are out the way and I can finally use the mac full time. These forums are excellent! Rich [/QUOTE]
