I use bootcamp, so that isn't a problem; mac and windows are on separate partitions. True, though, things like disk images are bad backup candidates, especially on local storage! On 2/3/12, Chris Blouch wrote: > While I haven't done it I know that there are settings on VMWare to > share the docum

While I haven't done it I know that there are settings on VMWare to share the documents folder between your Mac and Virtual windows instance. That would be a nice way to get your windows documents backed up, although it wouldn't help with the rest of your Windows setup. Normally you don't want

Alex, I'm not so sure you could not have your windows and Mac data backed up to the same location. Of course it would require a lot of trickery, but nothing is necessarily impossible. You could possibly pull it off with a well crafted APple script on the Mac side. On Feb 3, 2012, at 4:46 PM, A
