PushButton drive Usage Options

You can use your PushButton Drive in the following ways:
• As a dedicated backup device:
Combining high-speed data transfers, huge storage capaci-
ties, proven reliability, and low cost-per-gigabyte of storage,
PushButton Drives are ideal for the dedicated backup or dupli-
cation of your computer's startup disk or other hard drive.
• As a synchronized, working hard drive:
Sync allows you to use your PushButton Drive to keep a syn-
chronized duplicate of files on your computer or other hard
drive. This means you can work on the same files on multiple
computers without the hassle of manually tracking changes to
your files or tediously copying new or modified files between
drives. (More on the Sync function below.)
• As a combination backup device and working hard drive:
Unlike some backup utilities that reserve a hard drive's entire
capacity solely for backups, Redemption uses only as much
space as needed to store the backed-up data. The remain-
ing space can be used for general-purpose, data storage and
retrieval. Keep in mind that the amount of space taken up by
your backups will likely increase with every backup session, leav-
ing less and less capacity for your working files. However, unless
you routinely backup extremely large files, this will probably
not be an issue for quite some time.
