I think you should be able to backup 2 computers. You need to make sure there is always enough room on the drive. You should label each computer with a different name for the backup file, You could even put the 2 backups in separate directories on the drive and have the backup software go to each specific directory. Hope that helps.

No, only one computer.

Theoretically, yes. But it would depend upon what backup software you are using. For instance, Windows Backup should allow you to back up to a shared network folder on your router attached WD drive. As long as the drive and its folders are shared, it shouldn't matter how many PCs are backing up to it (until you run out of space, of course).
