Does this system allow backing up?

HiYou would need to remove traction bar unit first then you can back up. Pull two pins and remove unit. Put back on before towing again. Hope this helps

this model has an "on-off" lever on the antisway control. Just push the lever to "off" before you back up or make very sharp turns such as backing into an RV space.

yes you can back up but I take off the sway bar. I'm really pleased with this hitch kit.

Absolutely, in fact the backup is not automatic unless the user configures it.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

to my knowledge, only the internal storage of information. I see no need for any backup storage.

Yes with three provisos. First what you are backing up must easily fit into two 3TB of space. Second, the Seagate could also crash and third, you need to use a back-up program which makes the Seagate a startup drive. I use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

The Western Digital software that you download to help you to access the drive does have a back up protocol in it. This is the best system for a home user or small business user to buy, whether they use a Windows based or Apple based operating system.

Sure, you can use an external enclosure and use it as a backup drive. Just remember that it's a 2.5 inch drive (like in laptops), not a regular 3.5 inch (like in a pc).Cheers

yes, but I am not sure if you can add more data to it once it is "closed", so you may need a new disc for each back up, but anything can be written on theseI have used many of them with no issues at all - they are also printable

It's been a while since I started using it, but I think I just plugged it in, and it was automatic, as I recall. I know for sure that it was easy, and hasn't required any time to keep the backups going. I think it asks you about the desired frequency of backing up, and also whether incremental or total.

The disc doesn't care what system you have, it just stores data. You need a burning program and a burner that will burn the disk... all burners will not work. I would be surprised if the M-disc is the best method to back up a system, though. I have used Acronis software in the pasts with an external hard drive for this purpose.

Absolutely! I've used it for over a year with Time Machine. I never have to think about backing up. It's awesome!

You can't back up downloaded games or DLC. The only thing you can back up is downloaded tv shows, movies, music, and pictures.

A cable that goes in the USB port is included with the unit. There also is a pamphlet that has some instructions included. But once you plug in the unit, just follow the directions on the screen. If you want to just do a entire backup of your system, let the unit do its thing. It's that simple.

You can do that but the drive rebuilding process takes a long time and this unit isn't hot-swappalbe so you would have to shut down and open the case. You can attach external drives and back up files to them.

You should be able to as long as you do not exceed the capacity of the drive. Please see my other review as to backup. DO NOT use the Seagate backup utility that comes with the drive as it fails to back up many of the most important informational files in Windows installs. Use a dedicated 3rd party backup software (I use Macrium Reflect) and dump the garbage software provide by Seagate.

Yes. You can specify which folders to be backed up, the type and frequency to be used.

If you are backing up to an external drive, you will be fine. You can program the software to make scheduled backup to any drive but I do not know if you can change were the data resides unless you do that at installation of the software.
