How about OS backup?

Any Data can be backedup. If its digital and on your PC/MAC than it can be "archived" or backed up.

i wasted time. I wasted clients time...I WILL NEVER recommend this device, software, or their support..It sounds like a wonderful deviceThe problems you will encounter are so frustrating, because they seem random and the solution to fix them doesn't even work on the same problem consistentlyFIND ANOTHER SOLUTION

Paid upgrade that is a free service before, I will not be surprise if they remove all features slowly and put them to paid upgrade. The 4.4.6 iOs app on iPhone can't even play mp3.

Haven't used it for that. More/less planned to use as media server. But with alot of content (0.5TB-1TB) it's not ideal.

You can save whatever files you want to it locally (on your lan) outside of that you will be limited in speed and perhaps file size. Really, if you don't want to build your own server, it's the best way to go. I was just a little disappointed that features that were once free are now paid upgrades. Still a very good product.

While I've used it for a lot of things I didn't have any luck backing up the os

The short answer is no, there is no simple, convenient, fast and reliable way to use the PogoPlug to backup your OS. The best way to think about PogoPlug is as a Google Drive or Amazon Cloud Drive, except that it gives you flexibility of where the storage is hosted.

Hi Wade, the system comes with the Windows disk for complete re-install if needed, otherwise Windows does have backup and recovery built in.

Mine came with the backup software already on the drive. It is part of the setup.

I had no problems with this issue. It would be a good idea to back up your files prior to installing.

You can simply put a FAT32 partition on your drive and do it that way. You can do that in windows without downloading anything.

yes .... yes, the unit will start from a backup copy cloned and also of any partition

As long as you have a DVD-ROM drive in your PC, then yes, although depending on how much data you have , you might need few of them and software to do the backups

I use Acronis True Image for image back ups because it will create a bootable USB thumb drive to do the restore operation with, I've been leary of relying on the Windows backup...I'm using Windows 7...

It does a perfect clone of your existing drive. All operating system, applications, settings, keys, passwords and data come over automatically. Keep you r old hard drive as a backup

Any hard drive that is designed to attach to your device can be used. All you need is to reinstall your operating system software. Or you can use it as a ghost drive as a backup.

There's no reason why you can't use this drive as a backup.You don't *have* to format it NTFS but using it as FAT will mean you can't copy files larger than 4gb. There might also be performance benefits of using NTFS; I'm not sure.There's no need to remove the drive when you shutdown.

That's a question for Clickfree support. I never could get the backup to work. The best solution for backing up your computer is an off-site backup company like Mozy.

Not mandatory. You can use the drive as is. I kept the software on - just in case I changed my mind and/or computer. Be careful what you delete, some of the software is not related to the back up application.

yes, use Time Machine. it's the native backup app for Macs. and for the love of stuff... DON'T UPGRADE PAST SNOW LEOPARD. not because of this hard drive backup solution... don't do it because Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are all crap.

Yes, you could format it as a NTFS or FAT32. Mac (as well as Windows obviously) supports both.

I bought it for my nephew and it has an OS loaded and ready to go. No problems. Highly recommended,.

This is not an internal or external hard drive. It is an external casing. So it does not matter what the OS is as long as you have USB support, the enclosure should work.
