“Does this device handle automatic backups? I have a Macbook Air with wifi home network. (1) Can this Seagate external drive be set up to do automatic scheduled backups (for example, every night at 2:00 am)? (2) And, will it only backup files that have changed since the last backup? (3) And, do I need to select which files, programs, photos, etc that I want backed up? (4) And, what if I create a new file or folder on my Macbook Air? Do I then have to select it as one of the files, folders, etc that I want the Seagate to backup automatically in the future?”

1..Yes 2..The MAC backup uses a "changed-since-last-looked" method by default (it saves time and disk space) 3..You can -- I would not suggest any limitations. It does not save that much time or disk space since it only logs changes 4..Mac finds a new file/folder and it adds it to the list without any prodding from the user. No message that it did so--it just takes care of it
