# Western Digital 640 HD My Book Home Edition

[Western Digital](http://westerndigital.com.au/) 640 HD My Book Home Edition (USB/eSATA/Firewire 400) for backups $145 from JB Hifi – Dunno if it’s just me but SLOW SLOW SLOW, which in the grand scheme of things speed really isn’t that important as I bought it for data backup. I haven’t tried the eSATA, but the Firewire didn’t really seem any faster than the USB. Not using software supplied with it as that doesn’t allow you to schedule backups so using [Cobian](http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm) backup instead.

In order to close any OutLook sessions, so that the associated pst file would be backed up, a script it run as a Pre Event. The script executes;

***taskkill /f /im outlook.exe***
