Don't worry about that software; it's backup and/or encryption software for each of those platforms, but you don't have to use either to use the device.
You basically have three choices:
- complete bit-for-bit backup of your disk, suitable both as a second copy and as an alternate/replacement boot device (size should match but could be larger)
- full copy plus incremental update copies of your data (size should be bigger)
- data sync, likely of both add and delete, of your data (size need only be as large as your data)
I do image backup of the root and boot areas (fast recovery, relatively small partition), and rsync of home and data partitions (typically big). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
