Does this hard drive backup the entire computer? null

If the entire computer's used storage capacity is under 1TB this will work to make a full backup.

The drive is able to back up most personal computer systems and can hold a large amount of documents, photo, music, or games

If the external hard drive you purchased is large enough yes you can back up your entire hard drive shruddy

Depends on size of files and method of backup. If straight copy of files then total can not be larger than about 975MB. IF using as imaging drive as can be done within Win7/10 then some compression occurs and you may be able to back up 1.3-1.5GB.

Well, it depends on whether you set your computer to back up to this hard drive. It will not back it up by itself no, unless you have a mac and set it up as a backup drive, depending on what options you choose it will be very simple to back everything up. Also depends on how much space is on your computer.

It depends. This is more a question of the software that you use to back up with. If the backup software supports it, and the back up image is smaller than the available space on the drive, you can back up the entire system.

That depends on how much Giga bites of data of data you have and your new external disk memory.
