Hey guys,

I'll try to keep this simple.
I've got two SSD', one running OSX and the other running Windows 7.
I have a 2 TB HDD for storage with two partitions. One is NTFS for my Windows side, and the other is HFS+ for OSX.
I'm able to access either partition from both OS' using MacDrive and Paragon.
I want to have a backup 2TB HDD mirroring my storage drive.
My question is, can I easily backup the HDD using something like Time Machine when I have two partitions in different formats like that?
Or does it complicate things because I have two different formats on the same HDD.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :D

Will
 
It doesn't matter as long as OS X can write to that drive. Time Machine should allow you to choose the storage space that is available to save to.
