My Thoughts

If you are looking for a simple, fast and easy to use back up system for your computer, look no further than Rebit. SaveMe includes the unique SmartSave feature which lets you use your backup drive to store other data such as recorded TV shows, podcasts, movies etc., and dynamically adjusts the amount of space used for backup as you add or remove files. For me that is extremely important and I am thrilled that everything is totally automatic so I don’t need to worry about making schedules, I just plug it in and it goes to work backing up everything right away. That was what I did for my initial backup and now it stays connected. I love that it is portable too, because for me and my business I am in constant need to dump files onto my computer to clear off my cameras and tech gadgets and having the backup ready to go always gives me peace of mind.

You can download Rebit to your computer and use an existing hard drive or you can purchase one of the many desktop or portable hard drives with the back up software on it. I love Rebit and HIGHLY recommend them to everyone for all your back up needs. Simple, Fast and Reliable! There are several Rebit hard drives – and software alone – available.
