You can opt to squeeze 10 older formatted DVDs onto a single BluRay or upscale your 480i/480p DVD to 720p or 1080p HD video.

DVD-Ranger can burn your already created disk images (ISO) to SCSI/IDE/USB DVD burners and recorders. It can rip your DVDs for backing up or make a backup copy in case you have a disc that seems to be dying.

About the only downside to DVD-Ranger is that it comes in either a yearly subscription or lifetime subscription.

Rebit Automatic Backup Device

You may remember, back in January this year, we posted an article about BounceBack Ultimate device. Well, Rebit have now put this into practice with their automatic backup drive.

All you have to do is plug in the hard drive lookalike to your computer and set it up to continuously back up files and that’s exactly what it’ll do; all day, every day the Rebit Disk Drive Backup will be backing up your files just in case something goes wrong with your most important piece of hardware.

With the 160GB version costing only $59.99, it’s a bargain for something that will not only back up your core files, but also your application settings and operating system! Rebit have also thought of the problem that if you take your laptop somewhere and wish to unplug it, it will simply carry on from where it left off after you plug it back in. Integration with your operating system (Windows) means that when you hover over your file for the critical information it will tell you how many backups have been made and when they have been made.

This is one device that you really can’t afford to live without.

Review: GoodSync – Backup and Sync Tool

Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Recommended, Reviews, Software / By /

Almost 3 years ago, Gizmos for Geeks reviewed GoodSync with the intent of using it to backup important data from a user’s desktop computer to USB thumb drives.

CES 2009: CMS Products shows off latest backup software: BounceBack Ultimate

CES, Computers, Software / By /

CMS Products introduced the latest version of their BounceBack product, called BounceBack Ultimate which has some very interesting new features. As a couple of sys admins, we were impressed by what BounceBack is able to do, mainly backup an entire Windows 2000/XP/Vista system to an external hard drive and then boot off of that drive without any need for the internal drive.

BounceBack can be set to run continuously and it can back up everything – files, OS files, even the BIOS. CMS has figured out how to backup even OS-level files while running. The backed-up system is bootable from that external hard drive regardless of hardware and/or BIOS.

I’ve got a Palm and even now, I fail to sync it to the Palm desktop software on a regular basis. What would be easier is if I could just hit a button on my phone and get it backed up immediately.
