Well.A lot of these people did not fully read your question. Also, there is a command that you can run in terminal that lets you see NTFS drives in Time machine, but once you run Time Machine it fails. Yes, I have tried that same ntfs mounter. User interface is very similar to AirPort : simply click on the icon to display a menu with NTFS volumes name and select the volume you want to write on. Hi I want give you my 25 cents, I found that OSX Snow Leopard can write on NTFS drive but is disable by default, I don't have experience using the NTFS third party software with Time Machine, but if you said that this not recognized by time machine, the alternative will be enable the OSX NTFS writing.īecause this implies terminal commands, there is a program that can do by GUI interface, NTFS Mounter simply uses this ability, and provides a simple user interface to the mount command for NTFS volumes. If anyone knows how I can reclaim the data on my Retrospect back-up set, I'd be thrilled to hear it! If anyone has anything to add or correct, feel free. In the meantime, these "handy" complete back-ups that I've saved all these years have proven almost useless. I do not even remember how I did that one or where it came from.

The catalogue has been separated from the Retrospect BU and I spent 6 hours on-line trying to find how to get those restored (to no avail), the Ghost one wants to completely overwrite whatever drive I use to restore it, and the only one that worked perfectly was the one that was zipped.
I have been cleaning up an old WD HD and it had 3 such back-ups, one made by the sw I got with the drive (Retrospect Express 6.5), one from Ghost and one that was merely zipped files. My experience has also been that restoring these back-ups (sometimes called tapes) is a big pain and doesn't always work. I think it usually also means that a catalogue with libraries of sorts is saved, not merely copies of the files that are the same as what you have on your computer. That is not quite the same as "backing-up", which in my experience, means that the computer uses some kind of software to periodically back-up and supplement your files to the EHD. Most people here said that it's possible to write to the various OS's using different techniques.
The way I understand it is that the method you used to back-up your files is called "writing". Well, I'm no tech-head (I probably just made-up that word), but I happened to notice that no one responded to you. Have I not done this properly - it all works OK I plugged it in and dragged all my files onto it. wasn't keeping too close of an eye on it. Reads HFS+, allows read and write on both systems, no limit on transfer sizes.

Re-Formatting the Iomega on Mac as HFS+ and then plugging into the PC worked great as the Seagate drive already required me to download their HFS Driver for Windows.

I need to be able to use interchangeably between the Mac OSX and a Windows XP Pro.

I've recently gone through two different external hard drives: first a seagate goflex pro 750 Gb for Mac and now a Iomega 3.0 1Tb NTFS Formatted. On a Mac, you first need to download NTFS drivers, see this article: If you are on Windows, the hard drive is most likely formatted with NTFS (not FAT32). Thanks for your help!ĭo you know the file system your hard drive was formatted with? What operating system are you using now? So, can my hard drive which has my old windows stuff saved to it be read my my new Mac? I don't want to lose all my data - pictures, music, taxes.? I own a mac book pro and am looking to buy an iMac soon. Is there any external hard disk that can be used with both Windows and Mac for backup?
