Why Backup?
We all invest hours, days, even years into projects that are saved on computers. Most of us take the safety of these files for granted... but this is a mistake. Research shows that 31% of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control. Your important files will be lost forever, a waste of your valuable time and energy, unless...you backup your files.
It's not hard any more...
We all KNOW WE SHOULD backup our files, but we don’t. Hey, it’s not our fault – it just hasn’t been easy enough – until now!
It used to take time... With BackupInAFLASH!, all of your important files can be backed up in minutes. It's as quick as inserting a flash drive and clicking twice! In fact you can have it run backups repeatedly, while you work.
You used to need to know where your files were... With BackupInAFLASH!, the hardest part of backing up your files is just inserting the flash drive! Pre-made backup plans allow you to backup your Microsoft Office documents, pictures, music, or email without selecting any files yourself. In addition, the easy-to-use wizards allow you to quickly create your own custom backup plans should you need to.
Here's the main screen...
All you have to do is click Run Backup Plan.
Our BackupInAFLASH! product makes backing up so easy, you can't afford to be without it!
