Forget everything you know about your computer. Now, take this disc and put in your DVD writable drive and whammo you’ve just backed up your iTunes collection. Sweet right? No clicking, no registering, no signing on.
Simplicity is everything behind ClickFree, a foolproof tool for those not intimate with storage solutions. Selling now at places like Best Buy, ClickFree has hopes on tapping the dummie market (which means everyone not reading Gadgetell). The concept is simple, the product is simple, the hardest part will be ensuring you have a writable DVD drive.
There is no scheduling, if you want a back up, simply insert the disc and it backs up. The company says subsequent back ups will only write changes to the discs saving lots of time. They have the software and packaging set up so you can save only music files or photo files or desktop files. You’ve got to admit they’ve nailed simple. I know at least 10 close family/friends that could handle only this.
I got a demo of this last night and it works just as billed. The back up starts right away without fidgeting. No hiccups, fits or incompatibility issues. Not too many products you can say that about these days…
Each DVD disc has approx 4.5GB of space. Sold in packs of 3, 5 and 10 discs, the company rep says you’ll be prompted when it is time to insert a new disc. They start at $9.99 for the 3 pack.
Not sure about the DVD writable? The company also offers an external drive with similar features ($149 for 120GB in Black and a larger version in Silver is due out soon)

The clickfree backup dvd seemed to work fine and as advertised . I must be missing something however, because I can't get it to play back on another computer to view and print the photos it backed up. Thanks,
