    Had to buy to back up my computer when I had it worked on. I was a waste of money. You should use your own stuff to back up my stuff when I get my computer worked on.

    Very difficult to set up. I had tech support for 2.5 hrs on the phone and they still could not help with the set-up. They had to escalate this issue to another Tech support person which I never was connected to. I was placed on hold for 45 minutes to be connected which never happened.
