Can Time Capsule be used to back up my Windows 8.1 side?
Maybe not so much through time machine but just as a disk I can see when in windows. Im using it with 8.1 with Boot Camp

I don't think so.
I use Clonezilla for my Bootcamp backups.

No but winclone can backup the entire windows install on the OSX side which will get backed up by tm.

According to Apple it is Windows compatible so I don't see why not.

If it was a Windows PC network then perhaps to the TC. Windows backup needs an NTFS drive to backup, the TC of the OP will be formatted in HFS+ for TM backups so a winclone image to the OSX boot drive is the easiest option for TC to automatically backup.

Winclone sounds like the way to go, thanks to all!

Couldn't he create a partition for each?

I don't run windows on my Mac so I could be totally wrong of course.

Nope it formats the whole TC volume in hfs+ for its uses just like TM does for external drives.
