I want to buy an external hard-drive that can automatically backup multiple home computers. What should I do?


My computers have not been established as a home network. They are simply standalone computers, which have access to the same wireless router. Should I set up a home network with Windows XP (Pro)? Should I then buy a NAS storage device? Can I buy a simple external storage device USB? Are these programs come with several computers to recognize and automatically backup? This can happen wireless?

Do not get a NAS. Those for home use are too slow, vouchers are too expensive. Get a USB or FireWire external Acronis True Image. I love this program backup. Hi

. A large external hard disk can be partitioned to equal each HD you want to save. It is not really matter from which the node of a wireless network that you want to save on until they are all on the same network.

external drives can do nothing without wires. As
they must be physically connected manually, it is not really automatic. So I would recommend a home network, and backup files from one computer to another. Save your money and do not bother with the external drive.

For help,

Each computer will give him a code so when you plug it into the computer, it will recognize and apply the import of data depending on your computer. Or better

Try bluetooth receive 1 bluetooth adapter for 20 to walmart, and buy a usb bluetooth hub so you can connect computer stand simple as that.

I think the best solution is to use True Image Workstation, which can save multiple machines across the network automatically. For more information, please use the following link:
