You Won’t Forget To Back Up Important Photos With These
Easy-To-Use Drives

Everyone knows to
back up, right? But does everyone do it? The Maxtor OneTouch
external hard drives offer an excellent solution. These units
are big, with 80 GB or more of storage, so you easily can back
up a couple of standard hard drives. They come in both high-speed
USB 2.0 and FireWire versions, which expedites data transfer,
plus they feature a special button that automatically backs
up your data with a single touch (with the included software
installed). |

You set up the software to tell
the unit what to back up. This can be done automatically—the
program will scan your drive(s) and pick data folders for backup.
Or tell it which folders to include; this way, you can just
have your photo folders set for backup, for example. When you
push the button, the software scans your hard drive for new
files in those folders and copies them to the external drive.
Having your images backed up gives you peace of mind for important
photos, plus, since these drives are plug-and-play for Windows
XP and Mac OS X (other operating systems work, but with less
functionality), you can plug it into another computer, especially
a laptop, and access your photos.
The units are small, about 6x8x2-inches and, as of this writing,
they come in 80 to 300 GB sizes. Suggested Retail Price: $159.95
to $349.95.
