Yes you can use it to backup your computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It behaves similar to any other portable USB drive when connected via USB cable and will allow you to copy files to it using whatever software you choose.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can use this drive as long as you have the proper housing for it. I personally use it as my backup drive also and It is housed in a portable usb drive bay I purchased from another retailer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not safely. The wifi components seem to make the drive unstable. You would be better off using a non-wifi drive for backup. I have hard drives by other manufacturers, and have never had any problems. Further, you may want to reconsider buying the Backup Plus. I assume that Seagate applies the same quality control to all of their products as they did with this one - making their products a bad place to store your data.
