DW saved my butt on more than one occasion already.
I try to keep a current backup on a firewire drive myself, but when
everything's hunky-dory, it's really hard to realize that it is an
important use of time, so invariably when something's gone wrong, DW
rescued me. I had one very scary time when it said there was
something wrong with the hardware besides having a bad directory
file. It took many hours to rebuild the file, but I was able to get
everything I needed back and safely onto a new drive.
