    Just ordered an m14x. I've never used the Alienware software suite so I'm curious how well the backup feature works? Does it back up to external media so I can swap a harddrive? Windows is useless for that. Thanks for the input!

    Well all it do is to back your system files from the Recovery drive to a DVD or USB, for future use like if your computer fail to start you can use that DVD to restore back to the factory setting or to the time you create that backup DVD. And it's call AlienRespawn, not just respawn lol.

    Or you can refer to this thread for more Info and Questions: HOW TO: Preserve AlienRespawn - stock drive to aftermarket drive / AlienRespawn Q&A
