To answer directly ... No, you will need different software to do that. The Lenovo IX2 comes with some software to manage the device as a single entity and you can have one drive mirror the other drive on that one device OR you can have both drives as one big drive. Put your NAS on the net (quite easy and comes with instructions) and you can access that anywhere there is internet, which is what I would think you want to do as against having two devices mirrored over the internet. Hope this helps!

I am doing this for a work site to the main office. It's a bit buggy getting it running though and will need public IP addresses. You may want to review current documentation though to verify they haven't created a sync via hosted web service since we set ours up.

Yes you can. There's multiple options at your disposal, such as Synology Data Replicator.

Hey guys. There is free software that can do this. It is awesome, and easy to work up. If you like it, please donate: http://synergy-foss.org/ Note: I have a work computer and a personal computer, and one keyboard and one mouse. Works great.

I do not believe there is such a feature, however, Microsoft has a free program called Sync Toy that can check for updates on a folder and apply them to another folder. You would do this via the "echo" mode. You select a folder on the left to be the folder is reads, then it applies all changes of that folder to the changes on the folder you select for the right side. You have to run this program whenever you want to sync, though.

I have not tried the "syncing" but I suspect that if you plug the USB end into a computer, you could sync it with a folder on your computer. Hopefully this helps, but I'm curious to see the other answers myself. I'm going to try it out when I get a chance.

Utilizing two kits at one time was hard...follow instructions that came with box and online help: 1)Power down all units document their MAC addresses and PW on each units label 2)Load the software 3)Plug one WD unit into your computer or router nearest your computer and this will act like the router for the other units 4)Plug the other 3 WD units into wall jacks close by and start the scanning/synching process according to the instruction manuals. *Note: These will not work through Power Strips or circuit breakers/filters. 5)Start scanning for devices via the software 6) After they start being found document them or name them through the software. 7) Unplug and move them to final, desired positions. Plug them in and rescan. It took me several attempts and sometimes they do not show up in software, but they were working. I plugged the most troublesome unit closest to my computer.

I'm not sure by your question what you want to sync up to it? Let me know what you're looking to do and maybe I can help.

you can copy files, I don't know if that's the sort of duplication you're looking for.

I'm still using Win XP - which the sync software still works with: Can't say as how it would work with anything later.

I have used 2 in a PC but the both don't show in the software so u have to set them up one at a time

No, it is not possible for 4 people working at the same time. You would definitely need a multi-user version, and even then I'm not sure if 4 people would be able to use the company file at the same time.

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. Make a folder completely separate from the one where the backups are being directed, and put anything you want in that folder.

Yes you can. You need the usb sync original cable or a good equivalent. The sync software was updated for Windows 7 years ago. Just check your firewall/antivirus to not block the connection ports when the sync is running for the first time. As I have not used my unit in 20 months, I am not in the position of checking or remembering each step of the process, but I was syncying my unit up to 20 months ago with Windows 7. Internet update of some apps is not stable of course. And many apps got unsupported for the old operating system.

Not sure what you are asking. Once the two PCs are connected it is like copying from one folder to another. You can copy as much and for as long as you want.You can change to different folders on each PC for additional copying.
