Clickfree lets you backup your laptop on a BlackBerry’s memory card

January 05, 2010

Videonet The consumer backup market has grown more than 400 percent in the past couple of years, but more than 80 percent of home PC users still don’t do regular backups, said McLeod. Consumer storage is expected to grow six-fold to a terabyte from 2009 to 2013, according to Parks Associates. That’s because everybody is saving a lot of video, photos and music. McLeod thinks that most people aren’t doing backups now — perhaps 85 percent of computer users — because of something he calls “fearcrastination.” They procrastinate because they’re fearful about how to do it. If it was simple enough, they would back up their vacation photos and other data in a heartbeat.
