Q: Can I back up my Mac's and Windows to the same time machine?

I have two Mac's and two Windows machines in my office. I want to get the time machine to back them up. Will one time machine back up both operating systems? Or does it just work with Mac, or just one or the other.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

    If you mean Time Machine, it's only available for Mac OS X.

    If you mean a Time Capsule, it can back up a PC, but Apple doesn't make any software for this; any backup product used needs to be able to back up to network drives.

    Niel,

     

    Yes, I think I mean the Time casual. The one with the airport built in. I will go check it out in a Mac store and see what they have to say about it.
