BackupKey(TM) Plug and Play Computer Backup Device Protects Multiple Computers With No Installation and No Configuration

Posted on: Tuesday, 5 December 2006, 09:00 CST

Losing a lifetime's worth of personal and professional data is a nightmare that unfortunately comes true for hundreds of thousands of people every year. Yet despite the multitude of threats to computer data, the majority of computer users never back up their PCs because of complexity, time or cost. Those reasons are now obsolete with the introduction of BackupKey, a new computer backup device from Turnkey Technology Solutions that reduces the entire backup process to plugging in a USB cable and pressing the 'Enter' key on the computer keyboard.

Traditional backup systems, even those that claim to be "one-click" devices, require a complex setup procedure before a single file is protected. That procedure usually involves hardware setup, software installation and backup job configuration. BackupKey has completely eliminated every one of these stages, allowing the user to perform a full data backup within minutes of opening the BackupKey package. In fact, BackupKey is sold with the unusual guarantee of "From Box to Backup in 5 Minutes or Your Money Back."

"The unpardonable failure of existing backup systems is in forcing users to do the installation and configuration," comments Tom Fair, Turnkey's CEO and the developer of BackupKey. "Over 90 percent of backup configurations are faulty. For instance, the average computer user doesn't know where his email is stored. When the disaster strikes, it will be gone forever. With BackupKey, we've drastically reduced the potential for user error by creating software that is already installed and correctly configured."

Smart Protection for Multiple PCs with a Single Backup Device

Ideal for the home or small business user with a single PC, BackupKey is particularly valuable to anyone who needs to protect more than one computer. A single BackupKey will typically protect 10-20 computers. When a user needs to restore a file to one of those computers, BackupKey presents only the files that belong on that computer.

"What we have created here is a quantum leap in the quality of protection at a fraction of the cost of traditional backup systems," adds Fair. "A 10-computer office once required 10 software licenses, 10 installations, 10 configurations and a network administrator. Now all it needs is one BackupKey and any computer novice. If you need rotating backups, simply buy additional BackupKeys. You'll still be paying significantly less for the hardware and eliminating labor costs entirely while getting superior protection."
