Yes. if instead of doing a "back-up" you "duplicate" your files.


If you don't know what I mean there's a manual that came with the
product (on CD-rom).

From the help screen:
Duplicating provides you with an exact copy of your files. You can
duplicate files to your Maxtor OneTouch drive, then connect the drive to
another computer and continue working with them.

Duplicates only save the files and folders on your computer at the time
of the duplicate. Duplicates do not include old versions of files that
have been modified since the last duplicate, or files you have deleted
since the last duplicate.
