Personally I like Karen's replicator, accessible, free, and although not
fancy it does work year after year.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] WD Smartware software - external harddrive
Has anyone used successfully with JAWS the smartware that comes with the WD
My Passport 1TB Portable External Hard Drive? Upon searching JAWS users
lists I saw one recommendation for not installing such smartware and using
the built in back-up features of Windows 7 with an external harddrive, but I
have also heard from computer techs that using Windows backup doesn't always
do the job. I'll be backing up a lot of user created documents, datafiles
from various statistical packages, books from multiple sources, and music
primarily in my iTunes library. It would be best if this information could
be password protected and encrypted, which the smartware promises to do;
however in the past using earlier versions of JAWS with Windows XP and
external harddrives, the options accompanying the external harddrives were
not accessible. Was hoping that Windows 7 64 bit OS, JAWS 13 or 14, might do
a better job.
Comments on this smartware or the best use of external harddrives with JAWS
would be most appreciated.
