Can it be used to back up multiple devices at the same time? null

Question

PeterJuhl · Accepted Answer

I can't think of a way to directly backup multiple devices at the same time. You could attach it to a computer and share it over the network, and then multiple devices could back up to it.

I do not believe the Seagate 5 TB external USB Backup Plus drive can be used to backup multiple devices simultaneously. The drive has a single USB 3.0 cable and interface which suggests a single connection to one device at a time. Even when using a multiple port USB hub, the hub has just one connection to one device. I can't recall if the drive also has a FireWire port. It might (MIGHT) be possible to connect one device via USB and one device via FireWIre (but I've never used the drive except with one device at a time).
