Will this device allow me to back up multiple computers?

It will back up the computer it is connected to and the files you identify for backup. I don't think you can partition the Clickfree drive so all your files from 2 or more computers would be lumped together. I prefer a separate backup for each computer.

Absolutely. This device will connect to only one hard drive at a time. So you will have to move files from one drive at a time.

I don't know for certain but I don't believe it is designed to be used in a shared hub environment. You can check Seagate's site, but it might be too specific a task. I personally haven't heard of mixed Macs and PCs on a USB3 hub. You can back them up separately without having individual partitions but it would still be one at a time.

If your question is can you backup multiple computers on the Buffalo HD, yes you can. The Buffalos USB 3 connection coupled with the internal cache make it a good backup source. I am using Acronis image software and am backing up several computers. The Buffalo is fast and reliable. I recommend it.

I have not yet started using my 4TB Backup Plus, so I don't know the capabilities. Sorry.

I'm using it for two computers but I'm manually backing them up. I never use the built in software.

Assuming you have the letters available for the drives and each drive is powered, you could but the transfer speed will be horrible. I don't think I've pushed harder than 5 drives hooked up

Not that I know of. There is USB input in the back but nothing in the menus that allows you to configure an external device for backup.

Only one computer can control the drive at a time. It might work if the other computer was off when one accessed the drive, but should not work if both are powered on. Your better solution would be to use a network device like a Netgear PR2000 or a router like an Asus Rt-N16 that have USB ports that can share drives and network ports

It is a plug and play. I just create a folder for each machine I want to back up

Yes, though i've only connected about 6 at one time. ran 3 hard drives, 2 usb devices, and a iphone5 charger for a couple hrs. no problem

Several...Depends on your storage needs. If u max out storage on 1 PC, there won't b room for 2nd PC. However...it worked first few times & now it only works after I plug & unplug it several times. VERY ANNOYING. I had an older version of this product & it worked perfect. This, newer, device is going back ASAP. Also, this does not backup "everything" as someone else mentioned. If you hav files it does not recognize (I.e. files with an extension it does not recognize - like I have - you have to know to TELL it to back up files with this extension).

Yes, you can back up as many as you can fit in 1tb. A typical computer would not have much more than 0.3 to 0.4 tb to back up. However, it always depends. You could have more info to back up, I'm just stating approx averages.

Theoretically yes. Practically, why would you want to do that? there are many other solutions far more efficient. If you wish to clone 10 drives, there is specific equipment available to do it very efficiently.

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

This drive burnt out on me, so I'm not able to speak from personal experience about it's ability to store multiple backups. I assume that it can house multiple back-ups as long as there is enough space however I CANNOT recommend it's reliability as a harddrive.

While this may work, it is not recommended or supported. We take data protection very seriously and USB hubs can add reliability issues. What you can do is employ multiple Sync devices as our software will "virtualize" the many physical devices and give you a single folder view of your files whether you have one or hundreds of Transporters.
