Another view:
When running MacOS X, you can share folders between OSX and a VMware guest
running Windows. MacOS X can read NTFS, but and cannot write it. TSM (Mac)
used to automatically backup NTFS, even though it could not restore it (because
MacOS X could not write NTFS). TSM was changed to no longer backup NTFS.
However, think about this - if you backup NTFS from a MacOS client (because it
is more convenient than running yet another TSM client in the Windows guest
VM), if you could restore that NTFS backup via a Windows TSM client, that would
be useful. But the lack of cross-platform between OSX and WNT prevents this.
This is a case where it would actually make sense (I think).
just my 2 cents.
