[QUOTE="Jonny Quest, post: 1064163, member: 99434"] How are you using it for backup, via router ethernet or USB transfer? It sounds like you're locked down, I don't see how anything could connect inbound or outbound. If you want to be extra sure, and you are okay with dismantling your notebook, you could remove the wireless card. From your Smartphone or another device, search for Bluetooth devices and see if the laptop shows up, just to confirm it. Others here who are shaper than I am regarding this type of thing may have some insights for you :) [/QUOTE]
