for back up purposes
Yes, we can use the external storage device in the iPad air.

Portable & External Hard Drives.
Yes, if your computer operating system will recognise it as an external storage device
No, it is an external data storage device. Analogous in function to an external hard disk drive, but all solid state with no moving parts.
External storage is important for two reasons: backup and transport. Backup means creating copies of important files on a storage device external to the computer on which they were created. This might mean copying the files to physical storage, such as a thumb or flash drive or an external hard drive, or copying them to an online storage provider (a.k.a. "the cloud"). Having copies stored externally protects them in case your computer is lost, stolen, or otherwise damaged to the point of being unusable. Files can also be moved from one computer to another in the same way (transport). In the early days of computing, before networks became commonplace, the only way to get data from one computer to another was to copy it to an external storage device - in those days a floppy disk - and physically carry it to the other computer (hence the term "sneakernet").
An memory storage device that is literary on the outside of the computer case; such as a flash drive, CD, DVD, or external/portable hard drive.
Secondary storage device is USB and also the external hard disk are external devices these are best for external memory.
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.
iTunes music storage is internal. iTunes will play from a portable/external storage device as long as the device stays connected via USB 2.0 Once disconnected, the iTunes program will have it to play.
Examples of storage devices are: internal/external hard drives, floppy drives, CD's, DVD's, thumb drives, etc.
A peripheral is a device attached to a host computer behind the chipset whose primary functionality is dependent upon the host, and can therefore be considered as expanding the hosts capabilities, while not forming part of the system's core architecture. Answer: The usual definition is: Storage outside of the CPU, such as disk and tape. An external storage device can also be thought of as a 'stand alone' peripheral device, like a USB plug-in disk drive, that's not part of your usual computer configuration.
