The box doesn't give a specific number, but it does say multiple, I have personally so far only backed up one..I hope that helps.

As many as you want, up to the storage capacity of the click free you purchase.

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).

When formatted the total storage is about 1.71 TB so if both if the total data required for the backups is less then yes. If its not then no.

This is not a RW (Rewritable) disk but, yes you could use this to make backups of almost anything.

Apple does not recommend it but lots of people have success. You should always have 2 backups. Preferably with one off-site.

ABSOLUTELY. I have been using a pair of 3TB, a pair of 4T and a pair of 1 TB seagates for some time with no problems. I do not use any of their special back-up software. (KIK, Ph.D.)

1 TB for each computer and 60 minutes of Skype for each as well. Hope this helps!

If it is connected to your wireless router yes but if connected by cable you will need to connect to each pc to run backup on it

Hi, yes it is a very reliable backup drive, I would get a backup program like novastor which is very good and back up your whole computer. Take care any question just ask me

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.

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

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.

Like most external USB drives, I'd not rely on it for long-term backups over one year. Augment it with a cloud product that is acceptable for the type of data being backed up (i.e. personal, confidential, commercial, etc.). In my experience, none of the disks used in these devices are high-grade, and in commercial applications, we'll go to a NAS with RAID.

It is a portable unit so unless you leave it plugged into your computer you will not be able to do backups but if you leave it attached all the time you can have auto backup through your antivirus program like Norton

If you use Time Machine, you should set up partitions or disk images for each computer. Time Machine will gobble up all the space over time if you don't. Multiple computers is not a problem if you do. NAS is designed to serve multiple computers. If you want to back each computer to a separate disk, set My Cloud up as JBOD. But there will be no redundancy.

Unless there is a secret I am not aware of, you can only have 26 drives in most windows systems. Not sure about Mac. None the less, one of those drives would need to be your OS as well leaving you with 25. Not everything one plugs into USB is a drive to take up a letter. I dont think that was the intention of having 28 ports. :) So to answer your question, I think the most you could copy is 25 at one time. You could do that using GoodSync.

I use this Buffalo Link Station Pro Duo to back up both a PC and two MacBooks and it works fine for me. You could use your Time Capsule in addition to this if you would like at the same time. See the Apple & Buffalo web sites for details.

Yes and I think there is even a version for 5 computers as well. I had it on 3 of mine, got a new PC, uninstalled off &#65279;the old PC and installed it on &#65279;the new PC in under 5 minutes with no problems.
