Hi Donny99, The Dell Back Up and Recovery program basic version is available without charge. This version allows you to make backups and recoveries of your data, but storage would be your responsibility.  A Premium version is available, which charges a small fee for the data storage, does continuous backups and stores your data on cloud servers.  This type of storage would be advantageous in the event of a catastropic destruction of your local storage. ie: fire, flood, severe weather related incident, and is well worth the small price if you have sensitive or precious data. Here is a video explaining how it works. Also, the credit card number you gave when ordering your computer is not saved anywhere.  You would have to re-enter your card details again to pay for the Premium version of the DBAR software. Hope this helps, if you have further questions, please feel free to Private Message me.  Thanks. Regards,Robert
Yesterday, dialogue appeared on my screen, asking if I wanted to download Dell Back Up and Recovery. I downloaded this, but at the end of the download, more dialogue appeared, saying that the first 30 days were free. When I downloaded the software, I was under the impression that it was completely free. When I purchased my desktop from Dell, I gave my card details. After using the software, as detailed above, for 30 days, will my card be debited? Or unless I cancel my application for use of the software prior to the 30-day period, could I end up owing Dell money?
