This is not a backup drive, its a USB hub. Its designed to add more USB ports when you do not have enough for all of your devices.

I use and recommend Handy Backup, it's easy and reliable backup software for home use.
A backup is a copy of data. You can copy your documents, your photo collection, your movie collection, your emails, etc. You can copy it to a flash drive, to an external hard disk, to a DVD, etc.
It is possible if you have a sufficiently large flash drive that can handle the volume of data to be backed up. It also depends on the the type of backup selected, sector for sector backup or selective data backup.
It depends upon the size that you backup. Typically it should be enough!
There are many items which can be used to backup data. There are two major types of backup, offsite and local. An offsite or online backup can be made using a web service to backup one's data, or by keeping the a local backup medium in a physically separate location. Some local backup storage devices include an external hard drive, CD's/DVD's/Bluray's, and USB flash drives.
If you store your backup of your C:\ drive (which is usually where all your files, photos, etc are stored) on another (logical) partition on the same physical drive (C:\) and this is where you store your backup, if the drive should fail you would lose both the original files AND the backup as well. This is because they both reside on the SAME physical drive. Buy an inexpensive thumb drive or external hard drive and store your backups there. This way is the C:\ drive fails, you still have your backup files (on the external or flash (thumb) drive).
Yes. So long as you have enough space for the image file, just set the destination to the flash drive when creating the disk image.
Use an external drive and the software provided with it. Seagate is a great choice, pick up a 1 tb drive and you can't go wrong.
Some devices do not contain storage devices, or do not have enough storage space needed by a particular user. Extra storage devices such as an external hard drive can be utilized.
