SanDisk has found a novel way to allow the access of data. Company's latest usb drive comes with an automatic online backup, so that you can access important data online and offline. The 4GB Cruzer Titanium Plus automatically creates a backup copy for every file copied to the drive, so that you can get quick access to your backed-up files through any computer connected to the Internet. This particular feature will come handy should you forget to bring the drive with you or if the drive is lost or stolen. The Cruzer drive will be available from March for $60. And what about online backup service? After six months of free service, online backup costs $30 per year.
Getting started with Cruzer Titanium Plus is fast and simple, and the drive comes with six months of free online backup service. After quickly opening a personal password-protected online account, any files copied to the drive – such as documents, photos, digital music, spreadsheets, digital video or work presentations – are automatically backed up online. If the computer isn’t online when files are copied to the drive, the backup will take place automatically the next time there is an Internet connection.

“This is true ‘set it and forget it’ data protection. Many users have told us they worry about losing their data, and now SanDisk is reducing that anxiety through an innovative new form of online backup,” said Hezy Rotman, vice president and general manager of SanDisk’s USB Division. “We believe Cruzer Titanium Plus will encourage people to use flash drives for storing important data, not just transferring files from one computer to another.”
Beyond online backup, Cruzer Titanium Plus offers several additional data protection features:A rugged, crush-resistant metal case, reducing the risk of physical damage.Optional security by turning on password protection – with AES hardware data encryption – for all files stored on the drive, preventing other people from accessing user data if the drive is lost or stolen.
Two years of free lost-and-found service from BoomerangIt™, to increase the chances users will get the drive back if it’s misplaced. Cruzer Titanium Plus comes with a BoomerangIt sticker to put on the drive; if the drive is recovered, the owner typically pays shipping costs and provides a small reward.
