Hey. I'd like to backup my Mac's data (running Mavericks) with Time Machine to a Windows shared NTFS drive on my network. I'm fairly sure this is possible with some type of network drive. Anyone know how to make this work?
Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
No, you cannot use Time Machine to back up to an NTFS formatted drive because OS X can only read NTFS drives, they cannot write to them. If you still wanted to use the NTFS drive, you could create a partition on it that is in HFS+ format(a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and have Time Machine back up to the partition.
