Rebit External Backup Appliance Over fifty percent of computer users do not backup their drives. In my case I have two external hard drives one 250 gig and the other 500 gig. I also have thumb drives, and several mini external drives like the Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go USB Drive. I have not had a REAL cohesive backup solution until now. Most of that is my fault. I get in a hurry so I just connect a drive, choose the folders I want to copy, and dump them onto it. I then wrap the drive in bubble stuff and stick it into my bag hoping it will be OK when I get there. I always miss files that I forgot to copy to this traveling mess. I seldom purge the external drives so am filling them up with duplicate copies of many folders and files. Also my way does not give me a full backup of all system and windows files.
To quote Rebit: I have tested most of the above claims and they are true! I have not needed to restore a drive using Rebit so cannot attest to that operation. I, like all of us, hope to never use that feature. The Rebit connected to the Lenovo ThinkPad, continues to check the drive and backup new and/or changed files. I love it! The company states; “Ridiculously Simple Backup.” It is not often that I find a product the measures up to its advance PR. The Rebit is one of those." |

Rebit drives come in 80, 120, 160, 320, or 500 Gig sizes. Just choose the one that is larger than the drive you have in your computer. If you have several drives on the same computer the Rebit will need to be large enough to cover all of them. A Rebit Backup Solution drive cannot be used on more than one computer unless you reset it. There is a very comprehensive help file available when you right click the tiny frog icon in the lower right of the XP Taskbar. Keep in mind the Rebit is NOT a device to be used to transfer files from one computer to another. It is a backup device and is great for that purpose only. I sent an email to the company and received a reply to all my questions from David Schwaab Rebit, Inc. Director of Product Marketing.
