Computer question

Does anyone have a My Book?  And if you do, what do you do for backup?  Use the WD Anywhere (Memeo) program that it comes with, use another program, or just Drag-n-Drop?

And if you use the WD Anywhere, once it's fully backed up, does it take as long?  Because it's been... almost 12 hours, and it's only backed up 71 gigs (49 left to go).  I'm assuming it just does the immediately changed stuff, so it's fast(er).

But then again, it *is* a program that costs $30, and if there is something better out there, or something more reliable or faster...

House question...

I had a weird thing happen.

I had my outside faucets covered for a year.  I just took the covers off today, hooked up the hose, and proceeded to spray the shrubs... for about 3? 5? minutes.  Then it just... petered out, or really down to a low trickle spray.

What happened?  I went inside, listened around, no sound of running water.  Did some kind of "clot" block the pipe?  Because they *are* old, and we *have* had one leak from rusting through before.  But shouldn't I hear *something* from inside?

I don't want to have to call a plumber if I don't have to, but I don't want to irreversibly damage my house, either.

Advice?
