Yes, yes, I know. Everyone says how important it is to backup your files. We all know how important it is to keep a backup of our “stuff†but let’s face it, until you actually lose something; you aren’t going to do it. Trust me on this one, your computer and your hard drives at some point WILL fail you and you WILL lose your stuff. It happened to me, actually more than once. Don’t let it happen to you!
Okay, enough preaching, so let me tell you what the easiest way to backup your stuff is – it is called Clickfree Automatic Backup.
You simply take their beautiful little portable hard drive, the size of your iPod, you plug it into your computer running windows (MAC coming soon) and THAT IS IT! The program will auto launch, and it will backup your files. Period, end of story. No software to install, no configuration required. Hello?! Can you say even my MOTHER could do it? (Sorry, mom)
Plug it in, and you get a screen like this:
It starts searching for your files. It is smart, it won’t backup your windows files, it will backup your pictures, your documents, your movies, your music, you know, your personal stuff. And don’t’ worry, it runs in the background and won’t slow you or your computer down while it is working. When it finishes parusing your files, you will get a screen like this:
It is that simple!
Know what else? It doesn’t backup in some obscure proprietory format that only it (the backup company) can read. Your files sit on that hard drive, just like they would on any other hard drive. You can plug it in and copy the files right off of it, anytime you want!
WAIT! There is more! Is this starting to sound like an infomercial?
This is such a great device, you are thinking you want to use it at home and at work, and maybe even on your laptop. Buy three of them, right? WRONG! The good people at Clickfree have you covered. You can plug this into multiple computers and it will keep your files separate, and backed up! Holy guacamole! Now THAT is smart!
With the new Clickfree automatic backup system, there is NO excuse not to backup your stuff!
