GrabBack Philosophy: Back Up What Matters Most

Backups Made Simple

GrabBack is all about backing up your most important files fast and often. After a day's work on an important project can you risk not having a backup? Of course not. But programs crash, files get messed up, and hard drives fail. Don't take a chance. Grab your backups and take a safe copy with you every day.

Full backups are important, too, but most people rarely do them—if at all—because backing up the whole computer takes time and money. We think you should back up what you just worked on. After all, if you back up what you do every time you do it, you'll have it all.

Backing up should be so easy that you can do it without thinking. Are you tired of clicking around looking for files just so you can copy them someplace else that is just as hard to find? GrabBack will remember this for you and take the guesswork out of backing up what you need.


A Better Approach to Backing Up

So is the stuff you worked on yesterday really backed up safe and sound? Probably not. What about that stuff from a week ago? Probably not. But do you really need to back up your entire hard drive right now? Probably not.

Instead, start small. Just grab a quick backup of what matters most. First identify a few folders and files that you work on often. For example, a current project, roll of pictures, or an artwork folder. With GrabBack you can quickly create and remember backup “sets” by dragging related things into a list. Group your backup sets according to projects or hotspots where files change often. This makes backing up faster and more targeted.

We recommend you use an inexpensive USB thumb drive (key drive, flash drive) for your backups. Have one already? Just drop GrabBack on your keydrive and create a folder for your backups. That's all you need to get started.

GrabBack will take a snapshot of every file and folder you put into your active backup set. It will archive and compress the data into a single file. Nice and neat. There is never any risk of overwriting original files or previous backups. GrabBack uses a unique timestamping system to make sure you know you have the latest backed up where you want it.
