What are the advantages/disadvantages of purchasing the C6 instead of the C2 backup?

Don't buy either, the software easily becomes defective, which halts communication for backup or retrieval, and is hard disk resident thereby rendering the whole system dysfunctional. If you could independently download the resident software through your computer this problem would be fixed, but you can't as of now.

No advantage as it's an internal drive, better to use the internal SATA connectors. You would not be able to plug an external drive in later.

Yes it will. I have the same configurations and there was no problem whenever I use Clickfree C6.

It gives you the option to import. I would get the 2014 version though for the newest updates. The other item is when it comes to Backup you will need to figure out how to separate the restore / backup file to insure you use the right one. Not really a big deal though as it is fairly easy. I use their online backup as well.

Like the others, I'm not sure either. I posed that question to an Asus rep on a chat session and he said they were identical, including the bundled Office. I bought a C2 version to test for compatibility with some online content, then bought quite a few more for our college after the tablet passed the test. The others were the C1 version and they had Office too with the same warranty. Packaging and included accessories also appeared the same. As the others have pointed out, there seemed to be a price difference at the retail level, but what did the extra price pay for? In any case, so far they seem to be a great value - either version.

It probably would cost you roughly $50 if you use all the media available for it. In my case I don't use the c-nodes or the carbon. I probably spent around $20 for a 3 to 4 month cycle.

I have a variety installed - mainly used for storage of movies/music and vmware. If you want reliability, stick with the reds. I went for cost - so have WD, Seagate and Hitachi. Have only had 1 WD give me an issue in 3 years (10 3 Tb drives) - so when the 3 Tb drive failed, I replaced it with a 4 Tb and let the hybrid raid expand..

Full integration with the Ooma base unit is the primary advantage in my mind. The phonebook that I have stored in Ooma are carried over automatically, and I have faster access to VMs, etc. If that is not a critical item for you the benefits may be more limited, but they are a good match for my purposes.

Yes, the C6 will work with the USB 2.0 port, but the USB 3.0 will be faster. I have a 5 year-old Acer laptop with both 1.0 and 2.0 USB ports -- I only use the 2.0 port, and the Click-free C6 works like it should. Good luck!

After some research and using magnifying glass I saw a C4 sign on it. Please take into account that card is SDHC. As far as I know HC is an enhancement in speed.

One of the options is an incremental backup, only backing up new files or changed files. But I haven't tried to restore anything, so I don't actually know how well it does.

It would be far easier to back up to an external drive and keep it off site. This saves the very long drive rebuilding process. You really should have more than one backup especially for important data, photos etc. RAID is not the same as backup.

I've used "windows explorer" or "my computer" just like the regular C-drive. This way, you can just transfer the files just like it were on your computer... drag-n-drop or cut/copy+paste. I've never used the backup software because I don't have much sensitive data on it. Hope this helps.

You can certainly copy it. I do not use automated backup routines (except for C: drive) so cannot comment on these.

I wish I knew. I know cars!! If my computer were a car I could make it sing!!! I just went with the 2TB to make sure I could back up everything; including the o/sys. Sorry. I guess in my gut I felt that the C-2 was what I needed.

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.
