Introduction

With the strong growth in digital content generation, preventing data loss has become crucial. The SanDisk® Backup software is an easy way to backup valuable personal and professional files from any computer onto your SanDisk® Ultra® Backup USB flash drive.

The SanDisk Backup software is designed for users who care about their data and take the important step to prevent data loss due to computer crashes, theft, viruses or any other unpredictable mishap. The SanDisk Backup application’s easy-to-use interface makes saving, protecting and restoring valuable data (documents, presentations, photos, music, video files, etc.) a simple task.

SanDisk® Backup Software Key Features

One-touch backup button

Backup your critical files anytime with a simple and convenient touch of a button from your SanDisk Ultra Backup USB flash drive. (Note: Works only with computers running Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, and Windows® 7).

Unlike traditional backup software, the SanDisk Backup software provides you with an option to store only new and modified files, thus reducing system overhead.

Versioning

Define the number of versions you want to keep, preserving multiple iterations of a file for later use. At any moment, you can travel back in time to access a file’s previous version. You’ll never lose any data, even if a file was inadvertently modified or erased.

Automatic Backup, Live Backup

Leverage the SanDisk Backup application’s continuous data protection (CDP) technology to automatically detect changes to files and back them up onto the storage device without user intervention.
