thanks. very clear.

Thanks Mossberg for explaining the restore, which is the most important part. Great idea!

[Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh]

Is this a back up or a sync? Let's say if I modify files on this drive, will these files be synchronized back to my PC?

[temoniprince]

could you take off files to another pc ? like pc and drop it i on a macbook pro?

[RetroTheory]

Can you use the "ClickFree" as a regular hard drive as well?

Can you load portable apps like Firefox etc on ClickFree like other portable hdd's and flash drives? Or is the ClickFree limited to only backing up important computer files through it's software? I'm asking because I'm considering buying one because of it's backup features and capabilities. I'm interested but not sold on the product yet.
