Hi Lynn, My opinion... No. You would be better to purchase a Time Capsule and use Time Machine to backup your MacBook or MacBook Pro.
I noticed this info here: <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386590,00.asp> "The Clickfree Wireless automatically grabs the SSID and WEP/WPA password from your PCs and Macs, so there's nothing to setup. As long as you're running a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n network (the most common type)" Time Capsule will run a Dual Band Wireless Network... Not just a 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Network. And then this piece of info: "subsequent backups will happen overnight (default at 3AM local time). As long as you keep your PC or Mac on (sleep is OK, hibernate isn't), the Clickfree Link program will connect your system to the Clickfree Wireless backup drive over Wi-Fi and backup any files that have changes. As on other Clickfree products, the system backs up data files by default: .jpg, .doc, .xls, etc. It ignores OS files and .exe files, so if your machine fails completely you'll still have to reinstall the OS and applications (but you have those on DVD somewhere, right?). The data files like documents, home movies, music, and photos are the ones you'll really miss if the hard drive in your system fails." Your decision of course, but in my opinion I would not recommend this product.
