    The cost is reasonable but good documentation to show a non-tech person how to use this lacks big time. Difficult trying to get support to help. They assume you everything they tell you and it is hard to follow.

    Was encouraged by geek squad to buy a backup hard drive to back up computer! So I did! I doubt if they used it to back up my computer while it was in for repairs! Had to take it back and have a geek squad member walk me through the back up process! I m no geek!

    Very disappointing. We found out after buying it that the new version no longer has the function to allow regularly scheduled full backups, unlike our older Passport. The functionality has gotten worse. We expected improvements over time, not a decrease in usefulness.
