    I purchased "my book" because my desktop computer's hard drive was starting to act erratically. I have never been very good at keeping up with backups. Sure enough, three weeks after my purchase, my hard drive finally failed. Thanks to my purchase of "my book" I have a full backup of my files. It is great having automatic backups!
