Can I use these to back up my computer info?

Yes, They should work. They are my favorite, but I haven't used it that way in a while.

maybe if your info is video, combined with audio and data. I put pictures and audio and video on them.

As long as you have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC, then yes, although depending on how much data you have , you might need few of them and software to do the backups

Yes you can use these to backup your data as long as you have a DVD+RW drive. Which most computers do. HOWEVER, if you are going to be backing up small amounts of data (1gb for example) you will leave a lot of empty space on each disk as you can only burn them once. For most people looking for a backup solution, DVD+RW or DVD-RW work better because you can burn data to it, add more data later, and erase. (Think of how you use a usb flash drive).

It you wont to use their system do so but back up and I recommend that you also scan to a pdf file and save them & back up, back up, back up, back up.

I have not used them in this way. I do know that the computer views the device as a floppy after you partition the flash drive. I would think it would, but I cannot be 100% sure. Hope that helps.

Yes. You can use Synology Data Replicator or you can use the standard backup program that comes with windows. See synology link for instructions. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/tutorials/454

Any Data can be backedup. If its digital and on your PC/MAC than it can be "archived" or backed up.

Not as a standard option, the connections are but drives are not, if you are willing to access the Linus O/S then here is a link to consider:http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/encrypted-filesystem

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

YES. Depends on the config, as long as the drive letter is the same you can create different sub-folder to store the backups. If your backups are on a schedule, be sure you have the drive connected to the correct device in the right day/night.

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

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

i only pick certain useful files to back up on this drive; i don't trust the auto-backup thing, fearing the software can stop working at anytime and all backed up files CAN'T be recovered; besides, backing up everything on my PC is such a waste, which really has a lot junk....

Yeah it could provided you have the right cables, however if you want to backup your files I'd recommend a regular 1 TB hard drive since this would be a very overpriced external hard drive. You can use a USB 3.0 external hard drive if you really want fast speeds and they'll have more space than this drive to boot.

You should ALWAYS have redundancy, especially with these kinds of drives. Yeah, they are cheap, but your data isn't. Buy two and use one as a backup. I learned the hard way myself.

I understand that you can, in theory, but have read experts who advise against it. I use mine to back up Macs (which it does perfectly), but have a separate arrangement for PCs.

yes if you want to transfer your old info off of your old hard drive. in my case, my old hard drive was completely broke. so i couldn't transfer any info if i wanted to.

no. this is strictly an external backup drive with usb as the sole interface to the 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.
