Can you delete files from your laptop and still keep them on your backup?
I have a WD My Book and I want to use it more as an external hard drive than a back up. If I back up my files, can I delete them off my laptop so I don't have so much stuff on my laptop.
Yes , you can use as an external drive (and remove moves from laptop drive), but you will have ot near a plug at all times to power the WD My Book,. This takes the portability advantage away from having a Laptop. You may be better served to purchases a 128 GB USB stick. For home use, you can setup a NAS hard drive that will all devices on local network to attach and store.
