Aug 04, 2017 I am new to this Mac world and on the first day of my new job my boss gave me a tedious task to Backup Emails on Apple Mail. Basically, there are 3 email ids, and these are our support email database. So there are tons of emails stacked in the inbox. I have to backup all the emails, contact list, and even the address book. About Handy Backup. Novosoft is a software organization that offers a piece of software called Handy Backup. The Handy Backup software suite is Mac, Windows, and Linux software. Handy Backup offers online, business hours, and 24/7 live support. Handy Backup is a line of Windows backup software which is compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and 2019, 2016, 2012, 2008 Server edition. Extendable with plug-ins for backing up popular apps and offering multiple storage options (backup to external hard drives, USB, FTP, Amazon S3, backup to Google Drive etc.), the utilities of the family are commonly recognized as the most powerful yet.
An option would have been to first partition the external drive using Apple's Disk Utility with two partitions: one for the Mac and one for Windows/PC. Then you could the same drive for both platforms.
However, that might not be best option. It would be best to dedicate an external drive exclusively to Time Machine. This would mean you would have to backup incrementally unless you have available ports that you can dedicate to each drive (depending on the external drive being either firewire or USB.) If you can dedicate a drive to a port, the Time Machine drive will back up per its settings automatically. Not sure what you're using to backup the Windows side.
Since you mention you have a MacBook Air, its uncertain how you're connecting as the Air has no USB or Firewire ports...
