Will this drive work with programs like Goodsync that keep drives in sync. I want the flash drive encrypted but also need to be able to make a backup

Yes, but not automatically. Drive is hardware encrypted, so you first have to decrypt the drive to gain access. Thereafter, it works like any flash drive.

No, the one I got at least was just a blank USB drive. But it is a good one. Truecrypt used to be a standard, but they stopped development. Bitlocker in Windows seems to work well.

Fantastic question! Unfortunately, I don't know. I haven't tried. I think that cloning a software encrypted drive should working without any issue at all since the dock doesn't mount the drive and can do a forensic duplication, it should be a slam dunk. It's drives with hardware encryption, support built into the device, that I don't know what to expect from. In that case, I suspect that it would clone the sectors but I don't expect that the data would ever be readable from the destination device. That said, I don't have first hand experience with either config. I'm 99% sure the software encryption clone would work and the data would still be accessible as long as you have access to the decryption key. I wish I had a more certain answer.

Not sure what you are asking. Can you use encryption software to protect your data? Yes. Does it have hardware encryption built-in? No. It's just a USB flash drive.

YES. Depends on the config, as long as the drive letter is the same you can create different sub-folder to store the backups. If your backups are on a schedule, be sure you have the drive connected to the correct device in the right day/night.

I have a "very old" External Hard drive...not this make/model...I turn it on once/quarter to backup recent files...it's probably over 3 years old. Recently, I bought one of these WD Elite 500GB models...my plan is to backup on two externals...in case one fails. I know this seems lame, but it is the only way to ensure everything sticks around. Seems like its worth the extra $100.

We set it up to sync. with Google Cloud for automatic backup real time, but you can program it to sync. with Drop Box, Windows cloud, and many other services. Check their website, I think there is more information there and instructions on how to do it.

I have not used them in this way. I do know that the computer views the device as a floppy after you partition the flash drive. I would think it would, but I cannot be 100% sure. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't know about windows 8 - don't know why it wouldn't be either...I do know that (and this is probably true for all flash drives) it has troubles going back and forth between mac and pc a lot. Apparently I abuse my flash drives, but I've tried to be better about ejecting them safely.

My virus protection (McAfee) is interfering with the backups as Erik noted below. I'm not sure how to correct it. However, I wouldn't count on Clickfree device still working. I plan on contacting Clickfree to figure out what's going on. In the meantime I'm backing up using a flash drive...sux.

Yes that is what it is made for. It should also come with 5 licesences of nova backup for windows computers, and timemachine for apple. so everything on it has the extra protection of being backed up to a server at a professional backup service in case something happens to the drive.

If you are backing up to an external drive, you will be fine. You can program the software to make scheduled backup to any drive but I do not know if you can change were the data resides unless you do that at installation of the software.

Already have. the problem is that i configure the flash drive , add files to it and the next day it shows that it needs to be configured again. losing all the files on it.

This will work fine just like any other external USB drive. If you don't want it formatted as NTFS, it can be easily formatted as FAT32 or whatever your need is.

I would never argue that a single drive of any type will be reliable for storing important data over a long period of time. If that is your requirement you should consider a RAID 1 or 5 disk array, or at least buy two drives of similar speed and capacity and then use a program like FreeFileSync to keep them synchronized. Alternatively, the drive could be completely or partially mirrored to some type of cloud storage, which will be much slower to access but can still provide backup critical data.

Mine worked with windows. Second time a back up external hard drive no good with Carbonite Mirror complete computer back up. A big 3T external hard drive and this much small but super fast LaCle Porche design external hard drive. The hard drive worked great. The mirror program sucks. The regular carbonite backup works great. Will not subscribe again for the Mirror complete computer back up.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider:http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem
