Yes, most software supports this natively.

You can only backup 1 pc at a time though (whichever the drive is connected to).
also, If the disc is only 40gb you may not be able to back very much up onto the drive.

The program I use is ez-backitup

It's pretty simple, you just select the files you want to backup, save the job and it will ask you where to back it up at, When it runs it pretty much just recreates the files and folders on the external drive, so you can look at them later if you want, they are not in some compressed file or anything.

After I did my weekly backup, my system was severely infected and had to be cleaned. Are these viruses also on my backup?

What back up do you use. Most backups automatically kick viruses out and do not store them when backing your system up.

Backup and recovery

Delete the System Recovery Files folder located at C:\System Recovery Files then try to run the backup.1.exe program again. I also found the you have to have the Backup.2.fbw file burned to a DVD before it will restore the files.
