*.jpg or *.cr2).Īs I said, it only has one button. You can also select whether it backs up all the files in your designated directories, or just files with certain extensions (e.g. You can configure it via software to back up only certain directories or subdirectories, so if you just want to backup your images, you can have it do that by only listing your image directories for backup. once a week on Sundays) and you can select the time when the backup will start. You can schedule the backups for every day, or on days that you select (e.g. Since it can tell which files have been changed, it only needs to backup those files, plus any new files, so it's a fairly quick process. Even if you don't push the button, it still backs up all my files once each day. Push that button and it does a backup of all the files you've told it to via a software setup menu. It truly is "One Touch" in that it has only one button on it. I have had two major disk failures in the last few years and anything I hadn't backed up the day before the drives died, I lost.
Usually this works out OK, but one day it won't of course. If you make changes to your files every day, you should backup every day. Like everyone else, I certainly advocate regular backups of all important data, which for me includes website articles as well as images and personal documents. Since I've now been using it for the last 3 months, I though it was time to give it a short writeup. I got it at a good price (under $100) and at 500GB there's enough room on it for over 40,000 images, even full frame RAW images from my EOS 5D. In May of this year I picked up a Maxtor Onetouch 4 Lite 500GB drive to use for backing up my files.
