Time Machine-style back up on FAT32?

[brayhite]

I was wondering if there is any Time Machine-style back up to an out-of-the-box external HD for selective folders in existence?

Namely, I want to back up my Music, Pictures, and Documents folders daily but to an external that will be read on Windows computers if necessary.

Not positive, but Carbon Copy Cloner might do this for you

CCC only does it in HFS+ format.

So no additional ideas? I was wondering if there's an infographic or something that explains the details of each kind of hard drive format. The read/write capabilities of each OS, file limitations, etc. Reason being, I wouldn't mind formatting a partition in a Mac read/writable and Windows readable format.

apple has the answer for you.
if your a champ you'll just write your own app to do it, shouldn't take more then 30 mins to make an applescript for it.
if your a little on the lazy side apple has a pice of software called backup, its originally intended for MobileMe users to backup to their idisk, but it will also backup any folder/file to any disk. a little googling for mobilemebackupv3.2 should do the trick.

Does Backup support multiple hard drive-formats?
