No, you can back up some files to such a drive, but to back up your drive, the drive needs to be HFS+.Hi I would like to backup my mac to an external ntfs drive (it already has a lot of data on it and I have nowhere to put it in order to format to hfs). Is there any alternative software to time machine for this?
Correct.Right, so you're saying I can still select a number of folders to backup, but not the whole drive (as in no hard drive cloning)?
