will this back up pc's as well?

Yes, but I'm not sure if the time capsule software works with PC's yet. The time capsule will show up as a physical drive from your PC under the network tab. There are many other programs such as integro backup pro that will let you do this though.

Any hard drive can be used as a back up. If you are using this for backing up your computer or additional storage, you might want a higher capacity drive.

I don't know if it will automatically do that. I do it as a backup manually

This is an internal drive and needs to be installed inside your pc tower. It is not an external drive that can be plugged into a USB port as a back up drive.

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.

yes it will, I have a 4TB drive in mine now. People like Fred need to stop making comments on things they have not tested.

Yes you can, it might take a while if you are backing up a lot of files,just be patient.

Your could do if the Flash drive is big enough. Personally I use an external hard drive to back up data. and just use the flash drives for portable data. If you want to back up more than just data [software/ settings] then you would need disc replicating software.

Yes. That's what I use them for. I have 3 of these with 4 TB Backup Plus drives.

I have successfully backed up an HP desktop PC running Win7 (64-bit) to 2 independent Seagate external HDDs (128GB USB 2.0 and 1TB USB 3.0) connected via this Plugable USB hub without any errors or failures. Each backup job handles more than 75GB of data. I would expect you to see similar performance with your Win7 Dell laptop.

You should be able to use it for any backup program, it is just a USB ddevice. The power supply does support 240V 50-60 Hz.I installed a 3TB Drive in mine and it works great.

I'm using it for two computers but I'm manually backing them up. I never use the built in software.

Yes! It works on my PC running Windows 7's resident back up utility. I was planning on using the utility that came with the drive, but it wouldn't allow me to back up my external drive. The Windows utility worked fine. Good luck!

I am sorry I can't help you as I have never done any thing like that before. The only thing I have used mine for is a backup for my computer.

Yes. And it can work as a personal Cloud Backup as well. Support Dropbox, Box and Drive integration too!

Yes! I use it to boot up all my laptops. It runs cooler than the internal drives and should last much longer. I'm still using a 500 gb I bought 6 years ago. Also, much more portable than a laptop.
