portable hard drive for backup
Comments
-
Is it possible to buy an affordable portable hard drive that I can use to back up more than one device? We want to do a regular backup of 4 laptops, is it possible to do this on one backup drive? and if so is it possible to buy one that just updates changed files and adds new ones rather than conpletely overwriting the old info?
I've been doing a bit of research on Amazon and have found a lot of reviews that complain the software from the portable backup device makes the laptop run slowly (even when not in use) and in one case altered the bios :eek: I am not a techie by any means and am easily confused (and scared by what I have read) so if anyone can offer advice or make me aware of any other points that are important, but that I may not know about, I would be grateful. TIA
i have a backup of 2 laptop and 1 desktop in one drive and it is running amazingly great.0
