Bug Description
On my new laptop, under Windows a small utility made by the manufacturer
monitors my hard drive. This is very useful and reassuring. As all current hard
drives are smart compatible, why not use the smartsuite? A test run by cron once
in a while (every week?) and a small dialog box warning of any default shouldn't
take long to develop (sorry, I'm only a power user ;)) and would be great.
Ideally, if any problem is detected, it should recommend to launch the backup
program.
