FlashBack is quite simply the fastest way to back up a flash drive. Just one double click and a copy of the drive is zipped up onto the desktop. If the drive is subsequently lost or damaged, there are recent copies of the files to revert to. Because FlashBack is so convenient to use, just one double click, the backup files should be very close to those that were lost. FlashBack is so simple it does not even have an installation program, it is just one file! There is no need to install it anywhere, it can instantly be used on any PC. Just place it in the flash drive and it can be used from there as often as desired. It also has a pleasant picture of a beach instead of the usual boring grey screen! So why back up a flash drive anyway? The answer is if it is used to actually STORE files rather than just to transfer them. For instance, a timesheet and work notes may be kept on a flash drive, constantly updated with important information. Working between different PCs on different networks, some of which are not connected to the internet, the use of a flash drive may well be the most convenient way to always have access to these files. FlashBack overcomes the risk of file loss due to flash drive loss or damage. Flash drives can easily be misplaced (maybe left at a client site), or damaged (snapped off while sticking out of the side of the PC), and as such although convenient, are dangerous places to keep files. With FlashBack, a simple double click, possibly about once a day, ensures the safety of the information in the flash drive files. The trial version only backs up Word documents.
