I may be wrong, but my impression is that Time Machine can backup only to Mac formatted volumes.<br />

I think that time machine &nbsp;can backup to hfs and fat32 volumes. I'd create. Fat32 partition on whs and point the MAC at that.

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
Our Windows Home Server has a number of PCs connected to it, and has also plenty of free space (1.8TB).<br />
<br />
I have now connected the first MAC to it, and am attempting to create a Time Machine volume within the HP &quot;MediaSmart Server&quot; prefs page. The initial suggested &quot;Backup Disk Size&quot; was 92 or 96GB, but it cannot create it. When I try smaller sizes, then it works fine (e.g. 20GB), however, if I want to create a 30GB volume, then I get the following error:<br />
<br />
&quot;Not enough free disk space on home server to complete operation&quot;<br />
<br />
Do you have any idea what to do to tackle this one?<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />
<br />

WHS Mac Backup problems

All of Apple's hardware is produced solely by Apple Inc., who determines internal systems, designs, and prices. Apple buys certain components wholesale from third-party manufacturers. The current Mac product family uses Intel x86-64 processors. All Mac models ship with at least 1 GB RAM as standard. Current Mac computers use ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards and include a dual-function DVD and CD burner, called the SuperDrive. Current Apple hardware includes the iPad, iPhone, iMac, Mac Pro, Macbook, iPod and Apple TV. Discontinued hardware includes the Apple I, Apple II, and the Apple III, the Lisa, the Newton, the Quadra, Performa, Centris, Macintosh II and LC series, the Power Macintosh, iBooks and the MacBook.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
