Plug-In and Back-Up: Protect Your Precious Memories
I’m a compulsive amateur photographer and I also work from home as a writer. So, I should be embarrassed to admit that I am part of the 85% of the US population that does not backup files. If my laptop dies (and it is kind of limping along right now), any photos I have not already uploaded and many of my projects would be lost.
Clickfree External Hard Drive Backup System has made it super easy for me to get back on track and protect my files. All I did was plug Clickfree into my USB port and it backed-up and organized all my files for me.
The first time took hours (my computer is packed with files) but it completed the backup while I slept and subsequent backups go more quickly.
With 160 GB capacity, Clickfree can back up up to 10 computers, so it is perfect for a multi-PC household or small business. And Clickfree will be announcing higher capacity external hard drives later this month.
If you work from home, store a lot of files on your home computer, or have school-aged children (“I forgot to save my paper should not be a valid excuse”), this is a useful, time-saving, and potentially job-saving device!
There really is no excuse now not to be a responsible adult and back up all those cute pictures of my kids.

I have SOOOO many pictures from my son’s first year (he just turned 1 on Halloween). Since I work from home on my computer, all these files definitely slow it down.
It would be great to shift these files to an external hard drive and get my computer’s full speed potential back!
I just subscribed to your emails too!
My husband has diligently put our entire CD collection onto iTunes and it would be nice to have that backed up. Not to mention all of our family photos…
I could SOOOO use this! I am getting into the photography business and aside from the hundreds of pictures that I have of my daughter, I need to protect the photographs that I take for my business. m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

I have video files of my sweet little infant’s first coos and sighs, up to her boistrous babbles and first steps. So I absolutely must have these precious memories of my only child securely stored forever, and the Clickfree HD801 External Hard Drive is the perfect solution!

My computer is getting old and I have many pictures from around the world that I would really hate to lose. Also, have many personal files that can’t be replaced if my computer crashes or gets a virus that wipes it out. I have been wanting to buy some external backup equipment, just haven’t been able to afford it.
I enjoy producing very short videos. This external drive would come in handy for storing video.

I could really use this since I’m a writer as well as an artist so everything piles up a lot. The computer I have is old so the hard drive doesn’t have that much space at all and that always causes problems when it comes to PSD’s and PZ3’s.
Thanks!

I download all of my favorite shows off of the internet to watch them on my computer because I can’t afford TV, but I only have an 80 GB hard drive, so I can’t save very many for long. It would be really nice to have an external hard drive to save my favorites, and maybe even download some movies.

All of my pictures!
I do would want to back up my photos. I use Carbonite, but this would bring an added sense of security. Thanks!
I need to back up all my pictures. Most everything else is easy to replace. I have started to burn them to CD’s but it is time consuming, and they still take up space. I need a better option.
Easy! I need to back up all the photos on my computer that have been downloaded from the digital camera! You think I would learn to do it more often after I had the hard drive in my laptop crash and I was not able to recover any of the data but I still slack on it and forget to back up the files.
This isn’t a tough one to answer–a week ago my boyfriend (soon to be fiancee, crossing my fingers) had a computer crash, which meant he lost all of his files over the years with college research, etc. I became really scared after that, I don’t even have my own flash drive, but buying something like this is too expensive on my tight budget.
I have so many beautiful pictures of my family on my computer, It would be devastating to lose any of them, but I’m afraid that my computer (which seemingly runs okay, just slow) will crash and I’ll lose all of those precious memories. Not only that, but I’m a Creative Writing major, which means that everything I’ve ever written is at the mercy of small disks or a finicky computer. Please help me!
This would be an absolute blessing, especially if I can help store data for my boyfriend as well. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I absolutely need to back up all the pictures I have of my children, along with some schoolwork for my older son and myself.
Every month since my daughter was born, I have been writing her letters. That was three years ago. Her sister is 16 months old and I am doing the same. I print them out and put them in their scrapbooks and in a few years, will read these to them instead of their books at night.
I also have about 20,ooo- 21,000 photos of them on our computer and back them up on cds when I remember, but this would be much easier. To put the letters AND photos!
