  • QuestionCan I use this to back up my Mac Air Book wit Apple Time Machine?

    Asked by Jbt.

    • Answer If you get the one designed for your computer. Ask at the store. I got mine at Best. I looked on the box and it usually tells what it is designed for. But again ask if not sure. I do love the product I brought. I back up about once a month. I did notice that what you put on a flash drive cannot be transferred. Put the info on your computer and then back up. But since I have it on a flash drive I don't.
