I don't use bootcamp but I do know that Time Machine backs up files, not
partitions, blocks or whatever underlying structure of a storage device.
Soo, if the Windows partition shows up as a folder of files on the Mac
side then I would think Time Machine will back it up. Of course you'll
have to be running in 'mac mode' for Time Machine to run. I use VMWare
for my Windows needs so that just shows up as a giant single file that
TM backs up. Only bad part is that if I do little more than sneeze in
Windows the whole multi-GB virtual disk gets stored again in the next
incremental backup because it has 'changed'.

Guys,
While I don't yet have a Mac, I'm threatening to buy one.
Because I'm a musician who uses Sonar, I'll have to use Boot camp
until Logic, or something else becomes accessible. My questions are
these:
1. Is it possible to install all of one's drivers and system settings
from a backup that was done on a real XP machine into a Outcome
partition?
2. Whatever the answer to question 1, does Time Machine back up stuff
in the Windows partition in such a way as to make it recoverable
without having any impact on the OSX partition? In other words, can
one restore an historic version of a file in the Windows partition as
a one-off without having any effect on anything in the OSX partition?
Thanks,
Kevin
