“Does this drive have the capability to schedule automatic back ups?”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• Setting up backups would be something you would do via software and you could use a drive like this one as the backup destination. I bought it to backup my Western Digital Network Attached Storage. I plugged this drive into the NAS and used the software in the NAS to schedule a weekly backup increment. This drive doesn't come with any particular software, but if you want a basic scheduled backup, most operation systems already include a simple program to accomplish this. An aftermarket program will likely have more options - like do you want a mirror of your computer's hard drive or just a copy of the data files? Do you want multiple save points or just one? etc.
