Seagate dashboard vs. toolkit

[regina.santarcangelo]

I just bought another Seagate drive and this one told me to download Toolkit software and there was no mention of Dashboard. Seems like Dashboard offers more backup options (continuous, daily, etc.). Does Toolkit replace Dashboard?

I'm curious, which drive did you go for? From the looks of it, it might be the same architecture/app under the hood just with a different branding.

It's a Seagate Backup Plus Hub 8tb. I've already looked at the two links you provided and each describes the individual software but I have not found anything anywhere that addresses my question. I've been using the Dashboard since it came out a few years ago and just want to understand if it's going away and being replaced by Toolkit.
