MAKING the easy easier is what SanDisk aims to do with its latest flash drive.
Usually, backing up files into any flash drive requires you to plug the device into the computer's USB socket, run Windows Explorer, then drag and drop the files you want archived into the drive's folder.
The Ultra Backup USB Flash Drive does away with the drag-and-drop bit, making archiving a one-touch process.
Simply plug it into your PC and press the Backup button - the gizmo automatically copies the contents of your desktop and common folders such as My Documents and My Pictures onto itself.
If you want the self-created folders, say, Health, Holiday or Expenses, automatically backed up, use the built-in software for that.
Just browse through the Windows Explorer-like checklist that you will see onscreen and tick the checkboxes for the folders you want included.
The next time you run a synch, these folders will automatically be archived.
The fact that the software - SanDisk Backup - is built into the gizmo is a boon as it means that you do not have to install additional software for the PC to recognise the drive.
You can also choose from options like file encryption so that if the drive gets stolen, the thief will not be able to open your files without a password.
The software also tracks the files that have been modified, deleted or added since the last synch and updates the contents of the flash drive to mirror the files changed on your hard drive.
So, there is no need to manually sift through the list of files using Windows Explorer to figure out which ones have changed.
The backup software runs only with Windows XP or Vista. Mac and Linux users must manually drag and drop files and folders to move them between the computer and the flash drive.
The Ultra Backup series comes in 8, 16, 32 and 64GB capacities.
Final say
Easy backup within a regular USB storage drive.
