How to back up 2 PCs on a wireless network with a WD My Book Essential USB2.0 2TB HD?

I sure hope this is possible. Will I need additional sw? I suppose I plug the HD into the wired desktop and access it through the wireless from the laptop. Both laptop and desktop are running Windows 7.

Thanks, Jim

Hi there, I guess you could do it if you set the MBE as a network share (Right-click> SHaring) and then using a backup software able to use network shares, like Windows Backup or Memeo Autobackup…

Any time :slight_smile:

Try to look for free softwares first (Memeo works, but is NOT free), Windows Backup should be on your control panel if you are on Vista or W7.
