Would you entrust your digital life to anything less?
You know the line about all work and no play. 
Entertainment is a big part of what makes life worth 
living. And while computers may have evolved as work 
devices, there’s no doubt that they are now at the 
forefront of modern entertainment. We use them  
for music and movies. They store our beloved photos  
and home videos. Gaming on computers and consoles 
is now a higher-revenue industry than motion pictures, 
and soon the subscription services we rely on—every-
thing from phone calling to TV broadcasts—will funnel 
through the home PC. The number of people whose 
daily happiness depends on computers and the data 
stored on them increases every day.
However, along with our increasing enjoyment  
of computers and dependence on them come a few 
challenges. Foremost among these is how to keep 
our data safe. Our passports, scrapbooks, and family 
Executive Summary
silver are all at risk of everything from theft to natural 
disaster to damage by wear and tear, and we take the 
necessary steps to protect them. Digital belongings 
stored in our computers are no different. 
We need easy, dependable, and affordable ways  
to safeguard our digital belongings, solutions  
produced by vendors that can be relied on. Effective 
data protection needs the backing of a vendor that  
will be there when you need it and that will keep 
enhancing the value of your protection investment. 
We need consumer backup solutions that are not only 
simple and easy to use, but blend in with our daily lives.
Computers are habitually relegated to a home office 
or some space similarly out of the public eye in part 
because they are perceived as being unsightly. Device 
cosmetics might seem trivial to some, but if a backup 
solution gets shoved aside because it doesn’t  
somehow fit the user’s lifestyle, then it does no  
one any good and the user remains at risk.
Only a few years ago, nearly all PCs were beige. This 
was because businesses, which bought the bulk of 
systems, wanted machines that were innocuous and 
not distracting. But the more style-sensitive consumer 
world could only stand beige for so long before beige 
became a joke and finally all but banished.
Two forces helped accelerate this process. The first 
was that consumers had enjoyed over two decades 
of sleek silver or black home entertainment compo-
nents—can you imagine a beige CD changer?—and 
with computers moving into home entertainment  
functions, a more consistent look was needed.  
Second, Apple
