“Can this back-up hard drive back up 2 different laptops? I have 2 Toshiba's laptops and would like both to be backed up using only one back-up hard drive. Can this portable hard drive do that? And will their be any type of over-writing of either laptop?”

Thanks for your question, Joe. Yes, the NTI Backup software (preloaded on the Canvio Connect II drive) can be used to back up two different laptops. The backed up image will be placed in a unique folder specific to the computer’s name.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have backed up a laptop and a 2 in 1. The former was running 7 Ultimate-the latter on 8.1 and 10 home, No issues or problems. The Canvio automatically creates separate files for the devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The backup files are named based on the computer name, so as long as your computers have different names the backup software should create different files. Note: these units use USB 3.0, so they will not work unless they are connected to a USB 3.0 port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It can do that without concern.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.as long as you have enough space in the HD, yes, it sure can backup 2 laptops
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would say it depends on the size (storage space needed) of your backups, I have 4 separate machine backups on the drive I bought and it works like a charm.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Just set the backup folder to a different directory
