Hy, im tryin to backup my NTFS ext. HDD.
After 50-100mb it certainly stops -.-

Using NTFS4MAC too...

Isn't it possible to backup ntfs hdd?

I'd say its safer to use a volume that's formatted HFS+, especially because its your backups and you don't want to a chance with it

I didn't think it was possible to use TM on a non-HFS+ formatted drive....

You are correct, Time Machine cannot back up non-HFS+ formatted drives, nor can it back up TO a non-HFS+ formatted drive.
