I bought this product because I thought it would be a quick and simple way of backing up my files with a quick touch of a button. Well, I quickly found out that this is not the case. In the software, you don't have the ability to choose which folder you want to back up. There is a 'manual' backup option that supposedly lets you choose, but it only gives you a list of basic system folders and doesn't let you specify. So, now I use it as a regular external hard drive and uninstalled the backup software. I use Allway Sync software to backup my folders and it works great.
