Will the Seagate software support incremental, uncompressed back ups?

I am not sure, but here is where you should be able to find out: http://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/

yes absolutely. my advice is to just ignore all the seagate info on the drive. I basically just put it all in a folder that says "seagate sys info" and never disturb it. If you let it set stuff up, then you could become a slave to its rules. Basically just treat it as a big fat flash drive. Copy all, and it will only update the new stuff. It is incredibly reliable and fast

Hi, I'm so sorry, I can't help you: I never, ever use the back up software in these drives, my laptop is already slow and I find it makes it worst, so I copy/updates my files manually. Good luck with yours!

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!

I believe so but as it was always breaking and the Tech Support was so bad I literally threw it away. I would subscribe to Carbonite which is a FAR superior product and they have really good technical support. I believe that Seagate also produce a reasonable back up product but I have never used it. I hope that helps

I really don't know. I use only one external HD plugged on this device to make backups.

No.......Just select the drive you want to use when backing up on Time Machine

Yes... I am on 7. I just use it to save critical files on. Don't fully understand the "back-up" software that is supplied with it.

They provide something called Seagate Dashboard which is like a menu. From there you can have the drive do backups as well as post every picture backed up also posted to Facebook.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

8 TB drives work fine. I am running Seagate 8 TB archive drives with no issue.

I'm not sure why QNAP would suggest Seagate drives, their failure rate is much higher than Western Digital or Hitachi. Just google for it, you'll see what I mean.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I had a drive cloned *for* me. I suggest you contact Seagate. They're awesome.

It does, and it is faster to access, very fast actually. However I have to recommend a Synology drive over the Seagate. The completely messed up web interface, unreliability of the backup system, etc. makes it basically unusable if you want serious network tools and protections.

it backs up everything on it but if you mean does it backup the operating program ie xp or 7 I don't think so. ask Seagate.

Not under the supported systems. But most likely you will have to change to FAT32 in order to backup.

I'm not sure how to answer your question, you can contact Seagate at their toll free number, I have used Seagate external hard drives for years, I am on Windows 7, and it does back up images.

Try using Seagate Dashboard 3.0 and following the instructions for remote saving of specified data. I have call the help line and found them to be extremely helpful. Note that some areas I hoped were included as part of the remote backup and access were not available. I apparently misread the features/instructions.
