From what I've read, Time Machine backups have to be done on a MAC OS X EXTENDED-formatted hard drive.
Does that mean that files in a TM backup aren't accessible to Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare Fusion 'virtual machines' -- i.e., because of the MAC 'disk formatting'?
Thanks. Replies appreciated.
Sorry about the &/or in the Topic line (it was just &/or when I typed it -- apparently the Apple 'Communities' software doesn't like that), . . . but is this inquiry really so esoteric?
All I'm really asking is whether Parallels can open a file from a Time Machine backup (e.g., if the primary hard drive gets trashed, etc.)
Reason: Windows can't access Mac-formatted disks (such as those that have Time Machine backups on them). I don't know whether Parallels somehow circumvents that.
Replies appreciated.
Time Machine backups -- are they accessible by Boot Camp, Parallels &/or Fusion virtual machines?
