Regular Backups Without Running Out of Space

A backup is only useful if it is recent, and a drive that keeps filling up tends to be abandoned. With 2TB of space, the Canvio Basics comfortably holds a full laptop backup and still leaves room for photos, documents and media, so you can keep backing up week after week. That protects you against accidental deletion, laptop theft and hardware failure, which are among the most common causes of lost business data.

Perfect for: office staff who want a personal backup of their work laptop, students storing coursework and research, families keeping photos and videos safe, and small businesses that need an affordable second copy of their accounts and customer files. It also suits sales teams who carry presentations and product media between client meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is 2TB enough to back up my laptop?
A: For many laptops, 2TB is enough to hold a full backup plus additional files. If your laptop has 512GB or 1TB of internal storage, a 2TB drive gives you room to keep more than one backup version. Share your laptop's storage size with our team and we will help you choose between the 1TB, 2TB and 4TB versions.

Q: How should I use the drive for backups?
A: Most users connect the drive to their computer and use the built-in backup tool, such as File History on Windows or Time Machine on Mac, to copy files automatically. Keeping the drive stored away from the computer between backups adds protection against theft or damage.

Q: Will the Canvio Basics work with both Windows and Mac computers?
A: The drive connects over USB 3.0, which is supported by most current computers. Depending on how the drive is formatted out of the box, a Mac may need it reformatted before use. Our team can confirm the pre-formatting and talk you through reformatting if required.

Q: What is the difference between this portable hard drive and a portable SSD?
A: A portable hard drive such as the Canvio Basics uses spinning disks and is usually the better choice when you want plenty of capacity for backups and archives. A portable SSD has no moving parts and generally transfers files faster, but typically costs more per terabyte. For backups and long-term storage, a hard drive like this one is a sensible, economical option.
