How to back up important USB drive content for free

Filed under: Everyday, Technology — Isamu @ 1:13 am

A friend of mine just lost an important file on his USB drive and since he didn’t have a backup, I was quick to recommend file recovery programs. Prevention is always better than treat me so I was thinking if there were any programs that backed up whole USB drives. I came to a conclusion that for most end users its probably impractical. So instead of giving him a program that would chop his space capacity in half in no time (a graphic artist, those huge PSDs) I went with a solution that’s already in Windows.. none other than Briefcase!

I’ve never used it since Windows 98 or was that 95? It’s always there for anyone to use but sadly just highlighted by in the New context menu. Some probably use it, I would starting right now!

There’s no point in making another step-by-step since Symplebyte.com has a fantastic tutorial in the following link. Read about it here:
