Backing up data that you store on your computer is essential. Once installed, Smartware will backup and protect every single piece of data you have on your computer, including emails. Smartware watches every single time a file is added, changed or adjusted, and Smartware will save that change in real-time. You will never "lose" another file again. Smartware also provides the highest security for your saved data and password-protects all information upon installation.

On the Other: Too Much Power

Smartware will require a significant portion of your computer's power, and while it claims to be most active when the computer is idle, users continue to report that their computers have slowed down drastically. While the program is easy to use, uninstalling it has proven difficult. Also, if you forget your password, Smartware is impossible to access; it was Western Digital's way of providing total security.

Bottom Line

Backing up information on your computer is crucial, but installing Smartware to do it can slow down your computer considerably. But if you have a computer than can handle it, Smartware is absolutely safe, easy to use and makes your information impossible to access without a password.
