Seagate Backup Plus, easy automatic backup for your digital life on your computer and the cloud

The Seagate® Backup Plus portable drive simplifies backup for consumers who want to protect their entire digital life locally, in the cloud or from social networks. The metal design allows you to slide the drive into your pocket, purse or briefcase and carry it with you. Via the Seagate Dashboard, use the Protect function to set up a one-click plan or schedule your automatic local backup. Keep multiple copies of your files in case disaster strikes.

With the Save feature, user-generated content can be backed up from your favorite social networks. Many people now use their smartphones to capture priceless moments. While these devices are handy and readily available, storage is not their strong suit. Capture a memory, post it on a social networking site and let the Seagate Dashboard automatically back up any content posted, even photos that you are tagged in. Even if the file gets accidentally deleted from your smartphone, another copy can be waiting.

The Share feature allows multiple files to be uploaded to social networks at once from your computer. The days of uploading individual files without creating a new album are gone! Simply select files to upload, choose where to post them and even add comments. Managing your social profile has never been easier.

Install the pre-loaded NTFS driver for Mac, and use the drive interchangeably between PC and Mac® computers without reformatting the drive.

All things being otherwise equal, 5TB of capacity is better than 4TB. Things aren't entirely equal in this case, but close enough that the $140 Seagate Backup Plus 5TB 2.5-inch USB 3.0 hard drive is a tempting product. I don't want to let it go, and I hav...

How can you not like a drive the fits in your pocket (at least your larger pockets) and holds 5TB of data? I can't, and I'm betting you can't either, though you could get away a bit cheaper with WD's 4TB My Passport. Note also that Seagate's $220 Backup P...

External portable hard drives are a dime a dozen, but Seagate's new Backup Plus Fast Portable Drive manages to pack in 4TB of storage in a body that measures just 116.90mm x 82.50mm and weighs just 0.307kg / 10.8 ounces. But not only is that a lot of stor...

A bit pricey, uninspiring design, internal drives are not removable, RAID 0 set up has a higher risk of data loss and we wish it had option for RAID 1, it's also a little bigger in size than many competing portable USB 3.0 drives...

We've repeatedly said that the best backup is the one you use. The Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive for Mac (1TB) ($129 list) is a prime choice for the Mac user. It is fastest when copying files, which defines the backup process. Take it out of the box...

The Seagate Backup Plus Portable for Mac is perfectly named. It doesn't purport itself to be the fastest drive, but it is a lot faster than the FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 drives made for Macs. If you need backup for your Mac, period, then take a look at th...

Looks-wise, there is not much to say about the Seagate Backup Plus Portable. It looks very identical to its predecessor from 2016 with a rectangular shape and brushed-metal finish on it. The aluminium make of the hard disk feels solid. Thanks to hues like...

Recently we looked at the Seagate Backup Plus Ultra Touch and walked away impressed with its overall value. Some of this was due to the fact that it came with ‘value added' features that totaled the entire asking price, but mostly it was its combination o...

Good things can come in small packages While it may lack the shear value of the Ultra Touch 1TB drive we recently review, the Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB is still a pretty darn good value. Even excluding the value-added software from the equation thi...
