Newbie. Admin account & other users

1 Greetings all. I have just purchased a MyBookLive. I note it is set to  using “admin” as the owner/user.

  1. If only I want to use MyBookLive for access to my computer backup  do I need to set another ‘user’ for my normal use?
  2. I assume I can back up two other computers in house to MyBookLive (wife’s laptop and work laptop). I see no real instruction to do this in handbook. OR do you set them up as other users (wife) and (work) and give passwords to these and then download MyBookLive to these computers?

Sorry if I sound  daft, but I find this complex. Thanks in advance.

Hello, you don’t need to create another user to backup your computers. Just install Smartware on each computer that you would like to backup or use any program that allows to do backup to a NAS. Follow the steps on the link below for the instructions on how to use Smartware.
