Will this unit perform an image backup Using Windows 7 Backup Software. (have you done it?)

I use Acronis True Image for image back ups because it will create a bootable USB thumb drive to do the restore operation with, I've been leary of relying on the Windows backup...I'm using Windows 7...

I'm not sure how to answer your question, you can contact Seagate at their toll free number, I have used Seagate external hard drivesfor years, I am on Windows 7, and it does back up images.

Yes, if You use the Software Included with the Portable Hard Drive, and set it up accordingly, You Just have to press the Button on top of the hardrive, and automatic backup is set! the Backup software included sucks though, you might what to do it your self with winrar, or use acronis true image home 2013/2014.

I usually back up full os, but i'm almost positive you can back up individual files. My only gripe with this software is I already owned an older copy and had to purchase a new copy for windows 7!

Formating this device to FAT32 will work on any Windows OS or MAC PC. Yes, I plan on storing Pictures forever on this device.

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

Yes... I am on 7. I just use it to save critical files on. Don't fully understand the "back-up" software that is supplied with it.

It will work just fine. I have Windows 7 pro 64, and it has plenty of storage. After I plug it in and installed the free software for backup, I was ready to go.

Check he website. I think I saw some programs that you could download. But the drive works like any other so you can just use your OS backup software which works like a charm. It's really plug and play, no software needed.

It creates an image of the drive you are copying from. It can not transfer just the OS.

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

If formatted for FAT32 initially, it should go between systems without difficulty. On one of my LaCie units I formatted only a small section of it for PC just to enable me to take images back & forth between systems.

Yes. I used the drive for photo backups while on a trip using a pc laptop and then transferred those photos to my iMac upon my return home. All worked well.

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

WD comes with Windows backup software. It's somewhat rudimentary but it works.

At least for me it will not. Ghost 15 installs all right on Windows 7, but it will not perform a backup beyond the base backup. Then when we REALLY needed to restore from this backup, there was an error. Thus, we got NOTHING!!
