Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2008Backing up my MacBook with Fusion installed
If I buy an external drive, say a LeCie or whaterever it is called, will it back up files on my windows partition, as well as my mac partition? > If I buy an external drive, say a LeCie or whaterever it is called, will it > back up files on my windows partition, as well as my mac partition? If you use the disk image method for your Fusion virtual machine, then yes. If you use a real partition on the HD instead, then I doubt it.

IIRC Carbon Copy Cloner can do a bitwise copy of your entire disk, Windows partitions and all, if the two volumes are the same size. > > In article <8bQpj.11278$421.1...@news-server.bigpond.net.au>, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > IIRC Carbon Copy Cloner can do a bitwise copy of your entire disk, > Windows partitions and all, if the two volumes are the same size. I think I am using HD rather than disk image. How can I tell? >> > In article <8bQpj.11278$421.1...@news-server.bigpond.net.au>, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >I think I am using HD rather than disk image. How can I tell? There is a program, "Winclone", in MacUpdate, to backup BootCamp Windows HD partitions on a Mac. It is the only I know. I have not tested or used, but it seems an interesting choice. Thanks Juan I.

How can I tell? Do you have anything in the ~/Documents/Virtual Machines/ folder (~ stands for your home directory, /Users/you/)? SignatureNote: Please send all responses to the relevant news group.
