[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1647104, member: 307555"] The MyCloud has special software that allows you to set it up as your own local personal cloud drive for remote backup on a network. I have one at work to backup Windows computers. It simply sits with it's own ethernet cable and I have four important computers backing up their documents to it. WD has desktop software that allows you to control it. Each machine has a separate account and separate backup folder. The admin can control it all. The MyBook is just like any other external personal drive. It too can be used as a backup drive but you use individual machine software - like time machine - to do the backup. If you plan to use it to backup I would not get the MyCloud for an apple computer as you don't need the software feature. Time Machine does a great job. I hope this answers your question and I am not being too confusing. Lisa [/QUOTE]
