Hello Fr. Robert,

I heard that you can backup your ipod too using this device. Is this true? Also, is this an apple compatible device?

Great review.

@Maxobillion ,

the new devices all work with Mac OSX. There is an iPod product, but this isn't it.

Peace,

Fr. Robert

Great and detailed explanation. However, since you produced this video, we have Windows 7. I understand this will work with Windows 7, but, because I will have to make a fresh install (the "upgrade" won't work, and no one has been able to find a solution), how will this device be useful in restoring all the info to a fresh install? I'm pretty sure it won't copy the .exe or other program files, am I correct? Thanks!

matire01,

It will work fine with Windows 7. The Clickfree line of products never copied EXE or any other program files. It would scan through a hard drive and look for DATA files. (Pics, documents, spreadsheets, videos, etc.) and automatically copy them to the Clickfree hard drive. You can plug the drive into your Windows 7 machine and copy those same data files back or access them as easily as you access ANY USB hard drive.

Peace,

Fr. Robert

Can you load the backed up files on a different computer than the original one the files came from?

[gadgettts]

selin2213,

Yes... This is one of the major advantages of a backup solution like the Clickfree. It doesn't compress the files or move everything into a proprietary format. Instead, the Clickfree looks like a regular hard drive and each backup is arranged in its own directory as it was found on the original computer.

In other words, it's trivial to hook it up and read or copy just the files you need.

.

Peace,

Fr. Robert

Hey Fr. Robert, I don't know why you bother answering people like Josh. All those conspiracy-theory types can never be convinced of anything. They are so convinced of their own intelligence that the only answers they ever have are, "wake up sheeple!" or "I know the REAL truth" - You're wasting a perfectly well-reasoned post on these guys.

I googled clickfree automatic backup. I found it in the following models and sizes: HD701 120GB, HD801 160GB, HD225 250GB, HD325 320GB, and HD525 500GB.

Seren1431,

No offense taken! I was an ex-Catholic once and some of my best friends aren't believers in ANY religion! I'm just glad you came by to watch. It's all about being an uberGeek!

GSRJosh33,

It's always nice to welcome our "conspiracy-theory-totin', New-World-Order-nutjob, MJ-smokin', illuminati" brothers!

To answer your question... no - Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't a Jesuit. For that matter, he wasn't a priest... or even CATHOLIC! He was a self-described believer in the religion of Communism. (Yeah that makes no sense... but then neither does the rumor that Oswald was a Jesuit.)

Anyway, thanks for coming and enjoy your stay in reality. Peace, Fr. Robert

Is this the same jesuit order that included Lee Harvey Oswald. JFK killers!
