Q: QuestionCan I back up two different computers on this one external drive? One is older HP pc and the other is a brand-new HP pc.

Asked 2 years ago by thomas.

• A:Answer Sure, there are probably a few ways to do that but they wouldn't be hardware dependent. As long as your two hard drives added together aren't larger than the drive it shouldn't be a problem. Check with your backup software first to be sure.
