Hello Zack I have been participating in, and watching this thread and I have a query. My understanding is that, if you want to backup a BC partition from the mac you'd have to use a sector-level backup utility. I don't think either Super Duper! or CCC will allow you to do that because as I understand it they don't backup at the sector level, only files. After much effort and frustrations Gordon has managed to make me understand the various things involved in the way a hard drive works. And I now have a working, although by no means full, understanding of the various differences between things like sectors and clusters, and the different types of partition tables. My understanding is that a FAT or NTFS partition wouldn't be backed up by a standard Mac based backup utility. I know that's true of Super Duper! because it makes it very clear that it does not backup the system and temporary files which Apple recommends not to back up; let alone effectively alien partition types.
Yes, if you have a VM in Fusion which is to all intents and purposes a file set within the Mac HD, that's going to be backed up by CCC or Super Duper! But a Boot Camp partition is not; that's my understanding anyway. I'm no expert and please correct me if I am wrong. But that is my limited understanding.

When you don't want your Mac's resources being used by Windows, simply stop the VM. I use a Fusion VM of Windows 7 with 2 GB of ram and it works quite nicely. There's no noticeable slowdown on the Mac side of things. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
