Every time I try to do a backup, my computer dies before it is finished. With the MacBook, I cannot charge and plug in an external hard drive at the same time.
MacBook, iOS 8.3
Re-enforcing Kappy’s suggestion, there are multi-port USB-C docks that include a pass-through USB-C power port.
Apple sells them, and many 3rd parties sell them
Just make sure it is compatible with your make and model MacBook.
Sure you can if you just buy yourself a dock with a couple of USB 3.0 ports plus a USB-C port for power. You will find them on Amazon.
How do I do a Time Machine backup on my external hard drive before my computer battery dies?
