Network back up question

I just bought a’ my book essential’ 2tg and want to use the software and drive to back my 3 computers on my home network. Can this be done?

Hi painterjohn,

Long answer short, NO.  lol

Not over your network using the Smartware software. 

You can install the software on each system and do a backup on each computer seperately, but you will have to physically connect the drive to each. 

Also you will want to use the latest version of the software.
