14 DAY TRIAL // I'm positive you're familiar with the latest trend in PC backup solutions: USB hard drives. It is said that gizmos (or GPS handhelds) like these could actually save your life. If you're a soldier in Iraq, that is. But soldiers don't actually have a life, so, I'm definitely missing two or more details here.
Here's a gizmo that may not stop bullets from hitting you, but which can actually save your? well? PC stored documents from being killed. Rebit back-up Appliance is a pocket-sized USB hard drive. It works using a USB connection, so there's no need for an AC adapter. No configuration and no extra cables are needed in order to install it. It's a "plug and play" device. Once you connect it to your PC, a dialog box appears on the screen asking for permission to let the Rebit drive copy everything from your computer's hard disk. Rebit even catalogs old copies of your files, meaning that you can go back to an older version of a saved document. Furthermore, it also copies newly created files or deleted files.
As (in time) it becomes full, it will delete the oldest date to make room for the latest backups. If you unplug it, it will instantly update soon after you plug it in again (milliseconds after, that is). Rebit is designed to perform its work during moments of PC inactivity, meaning that you shouldn't notice any difference in the speed or the function of your PC.
The main drawback is the fact that it can only work on Windows Os. Rebit is the size of a normal PC hard drive and comes in 3 flavors: 60 GB storage ($169), the 80 GB ($189) and 120 GB ($219).
