Does Time Machine save your Windows info?

[McHater]

Just bought an 320GB external just for Time Machine, & then installed Windows XP/SP3. Will any future Time Machine backups save all the Windows stuff? For instance, I've got a photo editing program thats only on Windows. Will any of the photo's, & the program itself be backed up?

No - Time machine only works on your OS X partitions, You can use NT Backup (comes with Windows) to back up files in Windows mode.

If you installed Windows on a virtual machine with VMWare Fusion or Parallels, that data will probably be backed up using Time Machine, the downside is it backs up the entire virtual machine, not files.

Data is backed up in Time Machine if you use Parallels or Fusion. Boot Camp partition is not backed up since thats a separate partition.
