A few weeks ago my laptop crashed to my dismay. I couldn’t believe it; I just had the laptop for a little over a year and already the laptop gave me a major problem. I was so mad because I lost everything on my laptop as my projects and information could not be recovered. I had been so good at backing up everything and fell behind once on backing up my system and that is when I lost it all.
I had it with my laptop and having to lose everything that I said I can’t let this happen again, while search the net I stumbled upon a company called Rebit. Rebit offers a software called Save Me, which is a fully automated backup files program. You don’t have to set up a schedule to back up your files the program automatically does it; every time a file is changed on your computer save me backs it up.
One of the many cool features of this program is that it maintains file versions you can go back in time to previous versions. If you accidentally overwrite a file today, you can easily restore yesterday’s version while retaining today’s changes. How cool is that, this has happened to me a few times and I was able to go back get the previous version.
Save Me is has a Windows Explorer integration, which means that recovering your lost files or folders is as simple as dragging and dropping them back where they belong. There is a system restore point where you can quickly and easily recover from any catastrophe: crash, virus, or corrupted software installation. If you crash today, recover to this morning’s state. If you got a virus last week, recover to the day before and start over. I mean I think this software is a life saver, I wish I had this before my laptop crashed I would have had all my files back in no time!
Rebit also added what they call SmartSave Technology, the software automatically adapts to the amount of personal space used on your external drive by adjusting the amount of history retained for Point in Time Recovery. So the SmartSave never allows you to go unprotected like I was. The software is also Windows 7 compatible, you can easily transfer files between computers by simply plugging in your external drive to your other computer and doing a drag and drop.

You can back up to 6 computers, but in order to do that the external drive has to have enough space to back up all the data. Finally you can password protect your data so if you don’t want just anyone to get hold of it, it will be protected with a password.
The software is available as a download on their site for $34.99 or you can purchase the CD for $39.99. This price is for up to 6 computers, if you wish to only back up one then the price drops to 24.99 for the download and $29.95 for the CD.
They also sell the software preinstalled on an external hard drive and it is available in many sizes and you can choose whether you want it on a portable drive or a desktop drive. Visit their website at http://www.rebit.com if you are interested in purchasing the product or to get more information.
