Yes. That's all I'm using it for. It comes with the software to load on your computer to conduct backups, but you do not need to install any of it. I formatted mine for MacOS, but you can reformat to any Windows compatible format as well, and it will remove the software directory/files that come on the drive. Once you reformat, it's the same as any blank external drive.
