Time Machine-Compatible Disk Formats
Time Machine Question - from total Mac NEWB:
I've completed by first Time Machine backup (to Time Capsule). No issues. Next I want to INCLUDE an external USB 3.0 drive to the backup set. This drive is used for archival storage for my Windows Virtual Machine's data files (work stuff, sharing w/PC Laptop). I have this disk formatted as exFat, so no problems reading from Win or Mac.
Complication: Apparently Time Machine does not support exFat formatted drives. I can see the external drive from Time Machine Preferences, but I cannot select it.
What format should I use to simultaneously support: Mac, Win, Time Machine??
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), Time Machine, Time Capsule
