When sparse bundles are created, you set a max size, so you can make sure it doesnt take over more than half your total disk (or whatevers appropriate).Ī partition would also do the trick, at which point the HFS sparse bundle could take up all the space available on its designated partition. The Windows backup can continue to use the other half of the NTFS volume. This will require the Paragon NTFS software, which it sounds like you have. Since the R6900 wont talk to HFS volumes, you may be able to get around the issue by creating an HFS sparse bundle on an NTFS volume. Youd still have the AFP or SMB file-sharing software to worry about, of course.Ĭan I partition and format the hard drive to FAT32 for Time Machine, and NTFS for the PC You could try it.Īs with any backup scheme, Id test it pretty thoroughly before relying on it. I have more faith in the file-IO on a GNULinux system dealing with a GNULinux-native file system than I do in the file-IO on a GNULinux system dealing with an HFS or NTFS file system. I lost interest in ReadySHARE soon after I tried a small experiment on an HFS disk (which failed), so I know nothing, but I wonder if using a GNULinux-native file system would work better than some GNULinux-foreign file system (like HFS or NTFS).ĭoing that would seem to remove one layer of (unreliable) software from the pile. I only worry about it.) And Ext234 are for Linux systems. I dont know that this is a problem, because Ive never tried it. If the normal Mac recovery scheme cant finduse the backup data, then they wouldnt be of much use. What evidence have you of this My concern with the Paragon software is that I would not expect it to be available when booting into some kind of recovery environment. Ive never installed Paragon NTFSforMac, so I know nothing, but Id be amazed if doing so had any serious effect on Time Machine. Seagate provides a Paragon driver for readingwriting to NTFS, but by installing the driver you disable backups using Time Machine.Ĭan I partition and format the hard drive to FAT32 for Time Machine, and NTFS for the PC. I tried formatting the drive to FAT32, and discovered that 3TB is too big for that format.
