I have a Mac Book Pro with 10.6.8 and want to back up my files using a flash drive.  It says I did it but when I tried to check on my other Mac - an I Mac with 10.5.8, thedata does not seem to be there.  I cant see photos, etc..  It shows the backup as a file and shows various system info.  but there are no photos or other files shown.
Thanks for any advise.

A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data.  Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier.  I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4.  If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place.  I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.
