Absolutely, that is what I us it for. Works great. It is fast, silent and remains cool. Silver with nice storage bag is perfect. Email me again with any questions. ARNP S.

Yes, it is a great little hard drive. I've had one for over a year and it works fantastic. It's small and easy to use. I have used it as a media drive too, and had 950+ gigs on it and I've had no problems. You won't be disappointed.

Yes. No problem. Just hook it up to your Mac, open up Time Machine and follow the simple instructions.

I think this persons page will help you, because I wasn't quite sure myself, so I googled it and found his answer to be the most helpful: http://lifehacker.com/5685547/how-to-set-up-time-machine-to-back-up-to-a-networked-windows-or-linux-machine

Yes. I run it through an Airport Extreme as a Time Machine back-up via Wi-Fi. Works great.

Not unless you have IOMEGA zip disks you need to access. As others have said, it's old technology. You probably want a flash drive that is compatible with current computers.

Yes, it is "Mac" formatted out of the box and is "plug & play" with Time Machine. You need to plug the USB connection directly into the computer so that it gets the correct power and works correctly. Mine works great and is VERY quiet.

Time Machine is not designed to sync two computers, and that is not what the Time Capsule is for. For that, you want something like Apple's .mac service.

It will depend on your particular setup, assuming that the time machine is attached directly to a modem then yes if it is attached to a router then no, port forwarding must be done in the router.

I am not sure what is embroidery machine, but if the old floppy is a 1.44 mb or 720 it will work, it comes with a small cd with a software that help you format the flash memory in 1.44 or 720 in order to emulate an old floppy

Yes, I tried. Contacted customer service, the whole nine yards. It DOES NOT work with Time Machine on Lion. Period. Even though the packaging misleadingly assured me that it was Mac compatible. I've been reassured that Netgear's engineers are working on the problem keeping in mind that Lion has been our for retail sales since July of 2011 with development versions well before that. I don't expect satisfaction with my complaint, nor do I expect to ever purchase a Netgear anything in the future.

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!

How you perform a backup isn't unique to this drive. It does not come with any software. You'll have to check your operating system's instructions. I'm guessing you are using Windows. If you are using the Apple OS, Time Machine takes care of all the work.

I have and iMac computer with "Time Machine" installed. Time Machine automatically backs up everything on my iMac onto the Seagate Goflex. I have only had it for a short while, but to date I am very satisfied with my purchase. Hope this helps.

That was not your original question. You asked if it worked with Time Machine. It does. Any external disk will work with TM as far as I know, the bigger and faster the disk, the better. But Time Capsule, is a different animal, it is an external network device, router/switch that is both wired and wireless that contains a disk to back up to on the network as well as a USB port. In my opinion binding the two together is not a great win. It may be convenient for Apple users who want to stay simple and supported and use Apple for the sake of using Apple. You get more (or equal in some cases) bang for your buck by getting a non-Apple device for back up in most cases. That was not your original question. You asked if it worked with Time Machine.

Synology supports Time Machine, and you could perform a complete restore using the Recovery HD or USB (Carbon Copy Cloner has a sweet tool that does this), or Install CD. I have never had the need, nor taken the time, to test this. I use Time Machine at work, to a DS713+, for 3 MBP's, an iMac, and a Mini. I personally use Carbon Copy Clone for controlled cloning/restores (cloning direct to HD, and restores from my 411Slim). I use Acronis True Image Home (ATIH) for Windows 7 & 8 to the 411Slim, and have performed a complete restore from the 411Slim, and the ATIH recovery CD, on Windows 7. I also use EASEUS ToDo to a DS213 (I have never had the need to do a full restore, but have a ToDo recovery CD created). I have tested Genie 9 Timeline 2012, which is sort of like Time Machine. It has options for complete disk or data backups, but I only tested the data with versioning. Synology has a tool named Data Replicator that I still need to test.

No it does not work with any newer MAC OS. I tried it on the Yosemite and it DOES NOT work! Netgear, are you listening your customers at all? Amazon, fix the label, it does not work with the Time Machine!
