Got it now....thanks for the help

WHen you say "Key" you are referring to what is basically a password??? And, you have it set up so that for each password you have to enter this key (password)? Just a little confused, however, I really like this idea so far and feel as though it may fit my needs also.

This is a great idea. What do you mean by saying that you use a 6 digit key?

I think that I have figured out how I can do this while maintaining a high level of security. I am going to create a file and not identify that file as being one which contains credit card, bank and password info. I will give it some random name. I will then encrypt the file and then it can...

It is not that I need it on my computer, however I do need it when I am on the go. Hence the reason I need to be able to access it on my Ipad, cell phone and a computer with internet. I would think that there has to be some way to keep all of this information safe. Thanks

I would like to create a document with all of my credit card info, banking info and passwords. I need to be able to access this document from my Ipad, Android cell phone and any computer with an internet connection. I am somewhat concerned about someone getting this information without my...

So keeping it in sleep for days is not a bad thing?

I am running Vista. I use my desktop throughout the day - sometimes for an hour and then I do not go back to it for a few hours. I have been shutting it down each time I walk away for more than an hour and then starting back up when I come back to use it. Is it better to use Sleep? How often...

I am copying photos from the laptop to the Ext HD. When I look into the folder on the Ext HD all of my photos are there. However, this error message makes me think that I am missing something and therefore not creating a true backup of the folder in the event that my laptop crashed. Any thoughts?

Hello, I am running Vista Home Premium. I have been trying to back up some photos which are on the Hard Drive of my Vista machine onto an external hard drive. I am doing this via either drag and drop or copy and paste from the Vista machine to the Ext HD. Each time I do this I get the...

Hello: I have always gone the PC route. This is what I use my PC for 95% of the time: MS Word, Internet, photos, and to sync my Palm 755p smartphone (which is soon to be replaced by a blackberry). I am tired of the virus issues, crashes, freeze ups, ect, ect that I have experienced...

Computer HD is NTFS. So then how should I proceed in converting from FAT32 to NTFS? Thanks

So if I want to convert to NTFS how would I go about doing this?

Is this the only drawback to FAT32? All of the photos on one of my computers is 10GB. However, I have them broken down into sub folders which are about 2GB. With the current setup (FAT32) I will not be able to backup the entire folder with 10GB at once and will have to backup individual 2GB...

I am new to Ext hard drives and just purchased a WD 250 GB portable drive which uses FAT32. I am not too familiar with the differences between FAT32 and NTFS but I think that I remember reading where NTFS is better. I am going to use this to backup 20GB of photos, music and maybe 10 GB of...

These computers are not networked. One of them is my home computer and the other one is a laptop at work. The two do not (and cannot) have the same info on them.

So would I basically plug the Ext HD into computer 1 then copy and paste the files onto the Ext HD? Then plug into computer 2 and copy and paste the files onto the Ext HD? Any way to have the files/folders from each computer on the Ext HD separated so that I know which computer they came from?

Just got a 250GB Western Digital external hard drive. This will be used only to backup data. I would like to know if I can use this on two different machines with different operating systems. Computer 1 is a laptop running Windows Vista. I have about 10 GB of photos and 5 GB of data all of...
