Not sure. My computer is on a network, but the click free only backs up my computer

yes, i backed up my old desktop, my laptop and my new desktop. You do need to know what the file size for each item is and whether or not you have space to back them up as well as add in the future. I had a 2.0TB drive and my old files were 1.0 TB so i had space. when you plug in each device it should read which device is connected.

I backup on demand and have used my Toshiba once since the upgrade and I had no difficulty. Fingers crossed!

Should. The limit is in the software for the Mac. Backup will need backup software that can see a network drive. Music will need the DLNA standard players. If you are just storing stuff then it should be fine. Having said that, I use it with a bunch of PC types and it works pretty well. BTW none of these network drives are very fast. Nothing like a fast USB drive.

if it is continuing backing up, is that the same information being made redundant or does it back up new information. MAC user with Time Machine

I have not yet started using my 4TB Backup Plus, so I don't know the capabilities. Sorry.

The backup utility built into the NAS software will only back up the NAS. You can backup your external drive to the NAS using third party software, or backup software that came with your drive. I backup my external drives to the NAS by plugging them into a computer on the network that has my backup software. I use Acronis. I do not know if you can backup the external drive if it is plugged directly into the NAS. Never tried it that way. It probably depends on the capabilities of your backup software.

Depends on the amount of data that you are backing up. Otherwise you can use it back up from multiple PCs

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

My linkstation does not have a sleep function. I hate sleep modes. Always give problems. My model has on + off. Also an auto start function that is very unreliable. Maybe that's what you mean by a sleep function. Use On + Off and save yourself grief and wasted time. "code for NovaBackup?" What are you trying to do? Easy to backup the data on your linkstation. Backup the data folder as you have it mapped on your computer, F,G,H,I etc. Programming on the firmware is not available for backup. Contact Buffalo Tech Help by phone. Excellent help.

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

Not that I know of. There is USB input in the back but nothing in the menus that allows you to configure an external device for backup.

I think it has to be connetced to your phone in order to backup. I don't have info regarding use with external hard drive. Sorry.

I am using MyPCBackup which works fine and I have also used a Toshiba external drive for backup. The backup up and down loads very easily.

All depends on your setting. If you set it to do continuous backup, t will back up everytime there is a change. You can set thethe programm to back up every time you shut down the computer or once a day at a specific time.

No, this is a pretty terrible product in my experience. The only way to use it at all is with the network mode. Save yourself the trouble and just buy a stand alone hard drive.
