I am using Seagate Backup Plus USB 3.0 as Time Machine.
Please let me know how can I use thunderbolt port of my MacBook Pro for backups and also how can I encrypt the drive ?
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
You'd have to have a drive with a Thunderbolt port (which your drive doesn't have if I'm not mistaken) in order to use the Thunderbolt port on your MacBook Pro.
No idea on encrypting your drive - I don't work for the NSA!

Is there any thunderbolt connector kind of accessory available in the market ?
No, you'd have to purchase a drive with a Thunderbolt port (there is a Seagate Backup Plus on the market that has a Thunderbolt port).
USB 3.0 is pretty fast: Thunderbolt is, of course, faster. I've two Thunderbolt drive (LaCie 2big units) and still some FireWire 800 drives... my MacBook Pro lacks USB 3.0 ports, but I would use them in the blink of an eye if I had them!

I am able to access my 3TB Backup pluse from Mac Pro running on 10.9.4 (OS X Mavericks). I installed the driver from seagate website http://m.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/backup-plus-mac-software-master/
