I use it on multiple computers from Windows to Mac. I did reformat it, but other than that it works beautifully. The Mac WD software is nice to use.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This drive can be connected to multiple computers, you will just need to format the partition of the HDD to a supported format for whichever OS you will connect it to. If connecting to MacOS products, HFS+ is recommended format. MacOS Disk Utility will easily help you with that.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I assume that your backup has more files in it than your system disk. If you have only one backup drive and that drive dies you are in worse shape than simply loseing a copy of your system drive because you may want to go back and find a file that was in the backup that was deleted from the system drive. Time Machine will backup to two drives alternately. I highly reccomend the practice.
