Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.BB Geek said yes, Seagate says NO. After I purchased it I tried to do a iso (mirror image backup), It did not do it I called Seagate and got the bad news from them. It does only media(your files) not system files ect. As Per the features, Provides ample space for your music, movies and other files. I think this is a little misleading? OTHER FILES very vague I called WD they highly recommend this 4T,WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN as a lot of others have. Tec told me that the best they have to do a ISO(mirror image) is to down load Acronis Trueimage from WD Site, it is free, It will do it all. I purchased My Book 4T, and downloaded. Very Pleased with it and the WD My Book. Plus it let me upgrade to pro once it was installed.
