When you plug the disk into your computer, a glowing, amber-colored LED alerts you that the drives are ready for reading or writing data. This LED rapidly pulses when data is being transferred, and it slows down when the drives are idle, giving you a clear indication of the disk's activity. An intuitive interface appears on your computer screen to let you customize the way you back up your files.

The SanDisk Ultra Backup USB Flash drive offers complete storage and backup performance to Windows® XP and Windows® Vista®) computers, and it can be used as a storage device for Windows® 2000, Mac OS® X v10.1.2+, and Linux machines.

This works great for backing up my home laptop that I don't use for real important data, but things I want to save. I can plug it in, hit the "back up" button and when it's done it shuts off and I can disconnect it! The first time took a little longer as it backs up the entire computer, but after than it only adds new documents. Quick & easy, which is what I was looking for!

easy to back up; easy to restore; apparently can't delete/expire backed-up files?

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

The "BACKUP" button doesn't work for me (perhaps because a recent Windows update disabled AutoPlay for USB flash drives), but there is only one executable on the root folder of the flash drive, SanDiskBackup.EXE, and running/'Open'ing it provides the interface for all backup/restore/view operations, so not using that button is no big deal :).

The first time I used the backup software, I was prompted to download a newer release (and did so). I configured the folders to be backed up and created the backup -- as others have noted, this operation can take some time when one has many Gb.s of data to back up, but odds are that subsequent backup requests will take much less time because the amount of changed data is usually in the Mb.s range. I like the software asking for and subsequently listing a password hint on the "Login" page -- this way, I can create a strong password with a hint that trusted others can figure out but non-trusted people cannot -- and keeping track of which computer a backup was created on (it will pop up a warning when you run it on a different computer, as it supposedly won't allow you to 'launch' a backup from any computer besides the original one).

I can and have restored files to other computers besides the one from which the backup was created (21st-century "SneakerNet" :)). I assume I also can restore files to the original computer if necessary, but my first concern was to ensure I could restore to a different computer (e.g. if something happened to the original computer or its hard disk).

I sometimes back up files I would prefer to keep for only a certain amount of time (e.g. MS Money backup files), but I see no way of configuring an "expiration date" or of simply deleting the backed-up file from the flash drive either via the backup software (i.e. there is no right-click&'Delete' functionality) or via Windows Explorer (the backed-up data is stored in a non-intuitive manner, apparently utilizing a database table to keep track of which flash-drive file(s) comprise(s) the backed-up file). I sent email re this issue some days ago to YuuWaa and we've been in conversation since then, but I don't yet have an answer on whether there is or someday will be a way to delete a backed-up file from the backup.

Great Easy (One-Click) Backup Flash Drive

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2011

Verified Purchase

I got this backup flash drive a couple of weeks ago and I am really happy using it...It's just what I needed!

Admittedly, the initial backup took about an hour for 20GB of data. Now, with one click, it analyzes computer data with flash drive data and only backs up the new information very quickly. I previously (tried) remembered what new files I was working on and made backup copies individually. Sometimes I waited a day or two to backup new files and may have forgotten all the new files. So, once or twice a month, I would just backup my entire (folder) files again...time consuming. Now I just insert this flash drive, push the backup button, and all my new files are copied.

I like the U3 backup program too...it's a very small footprint on my system and works quite well showing folders in tree format just like explorer. From there you can choose (check) the folders and/or sub-folders you want to backup. It remembers these settings or you can change your choices any time.

Just another tidbit of information: In my experience, I have found that the larger the flash drive the slower it seems to transfer the same files, i.e., when using a 4GB flash drive to transfer a couple of GBs of data, the transfer is almost instantaneous whereas, when using a 16GB flash drive to transfer the same data takes longer. I can't account for the speed difference, only surmising the larger capacity takes longer to logically organize data.

Overall, I think this is a great SanDisk product and, with it's included software, makes it a valuable backup device. Only 4 stars (almost 5 stars) because the construction is fragile and, really, nothing is perfect.

Life and Data Saver

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

I use nothing but SanDisk backup keys for data backup. I've tried using external harddrives and found they didn't always work so easily. I'm spoiled by these keys. This 32GB backed up all the data on my computer. I also have 3 SanDisk Titanium keys in 4GB and 8GB sizes. They rock completely! These things are so easy to use you literally do nothing but plug them into your USB port and let them boot. Then just backup whatever you want. You can drag and drop files on the key's drive, or you can engage the backup feature on software. For instance, I hit "backup" on my Quicken and select the drive for my SanDisk key and it backs up my checkbook right onto the key - and in less than 10 seconds! These things are rocket fast! My computer recently crashed and I wasn't worried because I had everything - EVERYTHING - backed up on SanDisk. I reloaded the OS, and my software and just moved my saved data off the key and right back onto my computer. "Flash drive" is right - these things will restore your online life in a flash!

No more than a storage device

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

Using Windows 7 64 bit, and this USB is absolutely worthless beyond its function as a storage device. The Ultra Backup button is serves no function. Supposedly, all the software comes pre-loaded and pre-configured, and this was not the case at all with me. I have come across discussion that this problem occurs when this product is used with Windows 7, but there is no software on the drive, whatsoever. This is just a sotrage CD wrapped up in a flash drive.
