CES: Now That ClickFree Is Out, You Have No Excuse For Not Backing Up Your Data


Posted by , Jan 9, 2008 10:21 PM

The #1 reason people probably don't back their computers up is that it's too much of a hassle. Now that Storage Appliance Corp. is offering ClickFree, we're going to have to find another excuse. It's that simple.

In the above video, ClickFree's CEO Bryan McLeod show us how, to back up your data, all you have to do is plug the $149 120-Gbyte ClickFree into your PC's USB port, and then the software from his company takes over from there. No points. No clicks. No nothing. The software knows the extensions of pretty much all the major data files, hunts those down, and backs them up. It works for Windows and will support the Mac shortly.

Lest you think you might need multiple ClickFrees -- one for each PC in your home -- think again. When you go to back up other computers in the same fashion, it keeps track of the fact that it's backing up multiple PCs and keeps the data from each of them partitioned from one another.
