Can different partitions have different formatting?
Can different formatting co-exist on the same physical HD (i.e., in different partitions)?
If not, does that mean that files saved in a Windows virtualization environment can't be backed up to the same HD that a SD backup is stored on (because the Windows files need to be stored on a FAT-32 volume)? Thanks. |
Yes, different format particions can exist on teh same HD, but not different "partition schemes" (i.e. a GUID partitioned drive cannot also be APM Partitioned).

IOW, can those files be backed up to a disk that is entirely HFS+-formatted, or should those Windows files be stored on a FAT-32 partition? Thanks. |
usually, files created in a VM are contained in the VM's file/drive, that's a normal file on your OSX drive.... this means you can backup your entire VM as you do with other mac files...

Your VM, in most cases, is stored in a virtual disk, which is a 'bundle' stored on your regular drive, and is backed up with your other files. Please ensure VMWare/Parallels/etc isn't running when you back up, though.
