    I'm not a computer expert but this backup seems a lot better than the little portable usb unit we've used in the past. I chose to use the WD backup software but the Acronis software is an option I might switch to down the road. I've never had to perform a restore and I'm hoping if I ever do that this performs well. I do like that it backs up all my programs too.

    Upon opening the hard drive and connecting to my mac computer, I kept receiving an "error unable to recognize device" or something similar. I called western digital, and it connected me to their technical support (i think in India), and the representative was super helpful and walked me through formatting the hard drive for Macs and now it works great!
