I’m returning my Clickfree because it will not backup my computer. It runs for a while and then stops. This happened multiple times. No Backup Complete Screen. After calling support the first time (nice, helpful, quick response), they sent me a power cord because some computers don’t supply enough power through their USB ports. Alas it is continuing to happen. After calling support the second time (still nice, helpful, quick response) they said “uncheck your email, this seems to work.” But I really want my email backed up; it is an important archive of interactions. Even if I can then back up my email as part of an incremental backup, this is no longer click free. Plus I must confess to a lack of confidence at this point.
This is all quite mysterious because it worked fine on another identical computer (albeit with different software and data).
So back it goes for a refund. I really wanted Clickfree to work because I’m lazy and didn’t want the hassles of a Free Agent Go or similar device.

This thing is really clickfree. If you’re afraid to back up because you don’t know what to do, just get this and let it do the work for you. It’s small, extremely portable, has a lot of space. Only reason i gave it 4 stars is because the initial back up took a looooong time. I mean about 4hrs or more. i started at 1pm, was no where near 25% at 3pm when i was taking my nap but when i woke up at 6pm, it was done. I’m hoping subsequent backups will be easy. Also, it’s been easy to navigate the options so far. I’m happy with this purchase, granted i coulda gotten 500gigs of a different brand for a little less. Highly recommend.

Works as advertised. On my vista lap top, just plugged it into a USB port and it automatically installed some software and then started it’s back up of all data files on my PC. The next time you use it, it just adds any new files that were generated since the previous back-up. No user intervention required for this operation. It can be configured in a user menu for some changes in what is backed up, but you don’t need to do this for the default operation.

I couldn’t ask for anything easier to use. I’ve only backed-up my three computers, I haven’t tried or had to restore any files.

I purchased two and gave one away as a gift. The Click Free 250 GB is a nice portable hard drive. I use it for storing my presentations and when I travel it has come in handy. On the down side, the USB cord should be a little longer
