The one I bought is a Kingston DataTraveler.
To have backup is very important, because you never know when the disk crash. Many people say backup is important but never bother to backup themself (me among them). But finaly I got a USB memory so I can now make backup of the most important files.
7-Zip comes with a command-line utility that is useful for making batch scripts with, and the .7z file format compresses really well.
I made a batch script file called backup.bat
@echo off echo ------------- echo Backup Script echo ------------- pause echo Backing up Artwork echo ----------------- "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a backup-art.7z "D:\Artwork" echo Backing up Projects echo ----------------- "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a backup-projects.7z "C:\Projects" echo Backing up Website echo ----------------- "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a backup-web.7z "C:\Program Files\Apache\htdocs" echo Backing up My Documents echo ----------------- "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a backup-mydoc.7z "%UserProfile%\My Documents" echo ----------------- echo Done!Then you open Command Prompt and run it, after that you just move the archives to the USB flash memory. It is possible to make the script move them for you if you want, using the "move" command, or to write them directly to the USB memory.
You can also password protect the archive and use AES encryption.
. there's no point for a GUI in batch scripts.
