Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use Smartware for backing up multiple computers on the same WD My Book Live?

That is, without confilict in the two different backups.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Ulrik

Yes, you can backup multiple computers to your My Book Live using WD Smartware. You just need to install WD Smartware in each of the computer that you wish to backup.

Note: If you one of the computers that you wish to backup is using Mac OS, you will need to use Time Machine instead of WD Smartware.
