I would discourage anyone from using the cloud (Mobile Me) for backups, as your

You still need to make periodic point-in-time backups and archive
them. If you do not detect data corruption until after you sync the
images (very likely), you will replicate the bad data and destroy the
good data on the mirror.

Probably a limitation of the software. NTFS is the native file
system for winders 2000, XP and all later M$ OS. I don't know of
anything within NTFS that would limit the file size, unless a policy
is set to limit user file space, but that should limit the overall
file space, not per file

As a newby to Macbooks, thought I'd ask if there was a simple way to hook an
apple os/hd to an MS os/hd such that each could be the backup for the other

RAID, and DROBO; and probably set up something like that.

Unless I'm mistake, the Mac will read/write a MS format disk (this
works fine with USB flash drives) so just use a disk formated on the
PC, hook up to the Mac as needed.
You will not be able to inter-operate programs, of course, but data
will be readable on both machines if the same

NFS is more comparable to SMB/CIFS.

You can initialize an NTFS disk with an MBR or GPT partition table.
MBR can't see past 2Tb. GPT can.

If you use 512 byte sectors, that limits the partition size to 2Tb.
You need to increase the cluster size if you need a larger

Get a run of the mill USB external HDD. Format it as FAT32.
(Macs don't usually like NTFS, PCs don't usually like HFS)
Be aware that FAT32 may require partitioning the drive into multiple chunks,
but I have a 500GB as FAT32. FAT32 also cannot have any single file that is
larger than about 4GB.
Iirc the network control panel has some of the ping/traceroute (not tracert!)
