It is an on-line backup company that backs up all your files -- not programs -- every time you add or change that file. It is backing up my files now -- will probably take all day to do it -- I have lots of pix and quilt design stuff. After this first time, it will take only minutes as it only looks at files that have been changed. All files have dates so it scans for new dates.

I went to kim komando and ordered it thru her website to get the best deal. Kim is a computer guru on radio and TV.

2 or 3 free months and only 59 a year. Cheap at the price to save everything. Plus, if I read it right, if you are away you can still retrieve a file from their backup if you don't have yours with you. Nothing I would use, but imagine a business person losing/stolen PC while on a trip
