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.
