I remember a pop up box asking me to select a location to store backups. I chose my external hard drive. Every so often I notice a notification in the task tray that backups are in progress and in my external hard drive there's a huge file named after the computer.
  1. what is being backed up?
  2. how do I restore from a backup?
  3. how can I validate a backup?
It's like I was never given any control.
