The Clickfree Traveler is the first flash memory-based Clickfree product.  It is available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and is compatible with PC and Mac systems.  The Clickfree Traveler is a stand-alone, ultra-portable backup card that automatically starts when connected to a computer, then searches for, copies and organises all of your important data including; email, documents, photos, video, songs and any other information or files on your computer that you don’t want to lose.

The Clickfree Traveler is perfect for business travellers because it’s the size of a credit card and fits easily into your wallet or purse to keep important content at hand for easy access or to restore critical information in the event of a lost, stolen or malfunctioning computer. Like all Clickfree products, there is no need to install or configure software - just plug the ultrathin Clickfree Traveler into a USB port and it does the rest to safely back up files. Other features include:

• Backup Multiple Computers: Just plug it into any computer and the Traveler  will automatically start, search, backup and organize content;
• Windows and Mac support: The Clickfree Traveler can back up either Windows or Mac based computers.
• Intuitive Backup Summary: The Clickfree patented application provides a clear and simple backup summary that lists the number of files backed up, the total size of the backup, details of files by type and more;
• Easily Browse Backed Up Files: Review any backed up file by using the backup application or Windows Explorer. For backed up photos, Clickfree also provides a thumbnail view that eliminates the need to open the entire file.
• Restoring Data is Simple: Just plug the Traveler into a new computer and restore all files to their original locations. Easily transfer files between computers, and even from PC to Mac.  

Pricing for the Clickfree Traveler card is £79.99 for the 16GB model, £119.99 for 32GB and £199.99 for 64GB.

The Clickfee DVD Transformer is also available May 7, 2009 for £34.99 and will automatically backup data to optical discs of many popular formats, including CDR, CDRW, DVD+R, DVD-R and Dual Layer DVD.  The Clickfree DVD Transformer is a small USB product that, when connected to a USB port, automatically launches the Clickfree software. It searches the entire computer for content such as documents, photos, music, video and more. Once the content is identified, simply insert a blank disc into the computer’s burner and Clickfree does the rest.

The Clickfree DVD Transformer is easy to use and an affordable backup solution, especially for your priceless data!  Ideal for all households, the Clickfree DVD Transformer enables users to quickly and easily back up important data without dealing with tricky CD and DVD burning software.  The Clickfree DVD Transformer coupled with recordable CDs and/or DVDs makes this an inexpensive yet foolproof way to back up important and often costly files. 

The Clickfree DVD Transformer’s features include:

• Backup Multiple Computers: There is absolutely no limit - just connect the Clickfree DVD Transformer to any computer and the Clickfree software will automatically start and search for digital content. Users can repeat the process with as many computers as needed and the DVD Transformer keeps a complete record of every computer and every backup disc created;
• Incremental Backup Support: The DVD Transformer offers incremental backup. After the initial backup, users subsequently have the option of just backing up new or changed files rather than starting from scratch;
• Back up more than 400 file types: The DVD Transformer automatically searches for more than 400 different file types, including photos, music, video, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, financial data files, e-mail, contacts, favorite websites;
• Disc Spanning Support: Users can back up content to a single or multiple CDs or DVDs.
• Disc Management: The DVD Transformer will keep a record of every disc ever created on any computer.  Just insert any disc while the Clickfree application is running and it will tell you what computer backup it is from, what backup set, and what disc of a multi disc set.

The DVD Transformer provides a clear and simple backup summary which lists the number of files backed up, the total size of the backup, details of files by type and more.

“Once again Clickfree is bringing consumers and businesses great new products that create simple, effort-free computer backups,” said Storage Appliance Corp. CEO Bryan McLeod. “The DVD Transformer and the Clickfree Traveler offer the ultimate level of security, reliability and portability for all of your crucial digital content. Backing up content has never been this easy.” 

The DVD Transformer, the Clickfree Traveler and all products in the Clickfree line are available by ordering directly from the Clickfree website (www.clickfree.com) and can also be found at leading outlets such as OfficeMax, Best Buy, Blacks, Staples Canada, Sony Store and Henry’s Camera, in addition to QVC and The Shopping Channel.

Backup is only as good as the restore
Both the DVD Transformer and Clickfree Traveler come complete with Clickfree’s unique automatic “Smart Restore Technology” that is as easy to use as Clickfree backup.  It allows the customer to effortlessly restore or share all files with any PC or Mac. Other manufacturer’s products that claim to restore applications and operating systems (“Image backup”) fail to mention that these can only be restored to an identical computer and will also restore viruses, malware and corrupt applications and registry settings. All these problems can be avoided with Clickfree’s automatic Smart Restore Technology.
