Backup Your Important Docs - 1GB USB Thumb Drive Only $9.99

usbthumbdrive.jpg

I have written before about the benefits of USB Thumb Drives as portable backups for your important information…we use them in our emergency kit to store backups of our credit card #’s, ID’s, insurance contacts, etc, and I also carry one in my messenger bag - just in case. Always on the lookout for a discounted thumb drive, I came across this 1GB model this morning for only $9.99 from Buy.com and it even has free budget shipping.

      David, I strongly support using a jump drive to back up your docs. I would add one tiny bit of info to it though….hey, I’m an IT geek just trying to help.

      -If you are backing up crucial, identity type information (SSN, Card numbers, account info, etc..), I would definitely recommend an encryption tool to protect all of the info stored on the drive.

      It is as easy as encrypting the documents with a password. There are plenty of free tools for stuff like this.

      -7zip to password protect any file:

      -KeePass to store passwords and other info:

      And the best part is they are all free and are made for a USB drive!

      Hope that helps some.

      Awesome tips…never thought about it because they just sit in our emergency kit, but they should probably be protected just in case. Appreciate the tips, will look into it tomorrow!
