Trouble with auto backup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Geek Squad set this up on my computer, and scheduled automatic backups. So far, it shows more missed backups than anything. The whole point was to have my computer backed up regularly in case of "crashes", but very undependable!

Lousy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was explained as easy to use for the Mac. You need to be a programmer to install for the Mac. Buy the Mac version and do not waster your time and be sold by sales people as "easy to reformat from windows to Mac"
