Can you backup the same computer to two different external drives, so you would have 2 backups?

Yes. Each backup type (i.e., different drive) requires a different "script" and you can create as many scripts as you want. I backup to one internal drive and two external drives.

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

I would think that you could not do this with the device by itself. Since it copies sector to sector, even if you have less than 250GB on the source drive, some sectors near the end may be used. You could, however, use the USB3 connector to attach both drives and copy files from one drive to the other. Not as fast, but doable. HTH, Jeff

You could use two like that but it would not be daisy chaining. There would be no connection from the first drive to the second, but the computer would see both.

No it can't clone the drive in that manner. Using that setup you can only copy from on drive to the next. Not clone

I'm not sure. I haven't opened up the casing or tried anything like daisy-chaining. However, you likely could, and if not you can always backup 2 separately. Again, as far as a daisy chain, I don't know.

Yes. Two USB jacks to plug into. I use a Maxtor drive to backup every night. I also use a powered USB hub for a variety of connections.

You cannot add a second drive, but you can easily replace the drive with one up to two terabytes.You can also back up recorded events to an external drive via USB, including flash drives or your computer, but realize that this is not "adding" a drive - it's backing up existing events.

They are not separate partitions. My best advice is to keep a backup on a separate drive, such as an external hard drive.

Call them. Always have 2 backups! I lost a lot of data with that hard drive, mine failed after a short time

Basic rule of thumb is that this will take up 2 slots. Exactly two. If you only have one Drive slot available, then no.

It's not that simple, but yes. Suggest you google this question in your browser: "how to transfer data from one external hard drive to another".

I'm afraid so. One drive will work; I'm using two. Even for a "newbie" it's pretty easy to set up, and they're very good about answering questions.

I have been loking around for an external drive, and I've noticed they all fail! IMO the best way to gois to have 2 of the drives and do a periodic copy of each to each. I have a free agent on my mac and it has been working perfectly, but I am looking for a drive to back up between a PC and a mac. Two cheap drives may be more reliable than a single more expensive, since they all fail and you cant "pay out" of the uncertainty. Change that: Buy two expensive hard drives and dont even fool with the Seagates..

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

This drive burnt out on me, so I'm not able to speak from personal experience about it's ability to store multiple backups. I assume that it can house multiple back-ups as long as there is enough space however I CANNOT recommend it's reliability as a harddrive.

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