(More customer reviews)I'm paranoid about losing data and have through the years used Ghost in concert with various backup software as well as (belt & suspenders) copies of major libraries on external hard drives AND Mozy and Carbonite internet services. In short, I've tried it all for many years and always had a fear that I was missing something through a set-up error or such. I've had this solution for over a week now and nothing could be easier. I'm now writing the review as the product has performed flawlessly for a week doing what it's supposed to do. The set-up is easy: insert the USB set-up device into a USB port and like magic your machine is configured. Plug the cable from the drive into a USB port and plug the power cable into the wall and walk away; this thing will do its own thing without any help from you. Daily (or on re-boot) it'll automatically create a backup set and run the backup with no intervention. Do as I have and check it out daily to see what it missed (it doesn't fail--even gets all your e-mails and contacts.) As a network capable device it'll back up all computers on the network although I haven't used that capability. There's not much more to say--the thing does all the work, you don't; it's nicely made and nicely priced; you should continue to use an internet service as a fire or such would wipe out the computer and this device and even this drive could fail (think lightning strike that gets both the computer and backup at the same time.)
Update 6 months later: Still works just fine, still rates 5 stars
