In the business world a company can collapse without them. At home, a lack of a data backup can lead to headaches and periods of panic. As important as backing up data is, the simple truth is most of us do not do it. In the past, our unwillingness to backup was justified by reasons such as "it is expensive", "it is a hassle", and/or "it is time consuming." Nowadays, those reasons do not hold up like they use to.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bytecc_backup/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bytecc_backup/01th.jpg" alt="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" title="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" width="250" height="174" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p> Dirt cheap hard drives and innovations in both software and hardware have made the task of backing up the data on our home computers easy, fast and affordable. A current incarnation of this is the "one-touch backup" external hard drives. These "one-touch backup" external hard drives make backing up a hard drive as simple as pressing a button. In addition, to one-touch backup external drives, there are also one-touch external enclosures. With such an enclosure, you can transform any hard drive, new or old, into an ultra convenient one-touch backup drive. One such enclosure is the Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch backup and the subject of this review.</p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong></p> <p> Bytecc's Backup Star One-Touch backup comes packaged in a full colored glossy retail box. The front of the box features a picture of the enclosure along with a brief listing of its features; one of which is its ability to function as a USB boot drive (this, as you read on, will prove to be a very key feature). </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bytecc_backup/04.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bytecc_backup/04th.jpg" alt="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" title="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" width="250" height="173" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The top of Bytecc's One-Touch backup box lists the box's contents while the bottom of the box lists the compatible operating systems supported by the Backup Star (all Windows). The back of the box includes the Features table along with the Software and Hardware Specifications lists. In addition, the back also talks about the special benefits of the external backup enclosure and how easy it is to perform system recovery.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/bytecc_backup/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/bytecc_backup/03th.jpg" alt="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" title="Bytecc Backup Star One-Touch Backup" width="250" height="80" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Inside the box, the Star One-Touch backup enclosure is wrapped in plastic to prevent scratches.
