Rebit Backup

Well we all use backup devices ! Don't we?

NOW there is a new device that I think will save time..

Rebit is an external USB hard drive. Unlike other external solutions, which can be used as “just a hard drive”, the Rebit isn’t designed, nor will it let you, use it as basic external storage.

Instead, it’s designed to provide complete, real-time, continuous backups (more like synchronizations) of everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) on your PC’s internal drives only. Now I don’ t have any inside information, but I think I have a good idea how it works - and my guess is that involves things like Windows Change Journals VSS and other ways that the average user probably never has heard of, and certainly doesn’t want to concern themselves with. But that’s the beauty of Rebit. It does some pretty complicated things to make sure it always has the most up to date copy of any given file on your computer, and it does it all with you barely even knowing it’s there.

Installing & Configuring Rebit

To get Rebit up and running all you need to do is plug it in to your PC via USB. Because its innards are comprised of a laptop-sized hard drive, it doesn’t require an external power source. In most cases, a single USB port is sufficient to power the device. If your computer can’t provide enough juice over one port, the Rebit’s USB cable has a second plug which you can use for additional USB power.

As soon as you plug in the Rebit you’ll be prompted to “Start” Rebit. You’ll need to click OK to the license agreement as well. After that you can pretty much forget Rebit exists. It will do everything it needs to do, and it won’t need any additional help from you.
It’s worth mentioning that Rebit will install a couple of service on your PC. It will also kick off a couple of additional processes when you login to Windows. It sounds like a lot, but I found Rebit’s resource footprint to be practically non-existent; certainly far less than any backup solution I’ve seen to date
