Yes, Windows uses 1 huge file for each PC hard disk.  So, if you have
a 60 meg hard disk defined for drive E in Windows, the Macintosh OS
sees one 60 meg (or so) file.

ADSM can back up the file, but it will have to do so anytime even 1 of
the PC dos files changes.  That wouldn't be very efficient.  It's
better to use ADSM under Windows to do the backup.  (And don't forget
to exclude the huge files in your Mac ADSM Preferences files.)
