Is the WD MyCloud suitable for this situation?

Hello, I am currently thinking about getting a WD MyCloud for this Situation, is MyCloud suitable for it?:

  • MacBook gets Back-Upped via Time-Machine to the MyCloud
  • Desktop PC gets Back-Upped to the MyCloud via the Windows function “Create a system image” (Article), because I can then completely restore it, when Windows fails in any way

I first thought about getting a WD MyBook, and formatting it to 2 Partitions(2TB Windows, 2TB Mac) but I think it isn’t that good for this situation because I would need to reconnect it over and over again.

Also: Is it better to create a full system backup with the “Create a system image”-Tool in windows or the WD tool (if I want to have a complete backup of my C:/ drive, including Windows, Programms(including Product Keys from e.g. Adobe CS6), etc.).

Thanks for your answers
