\"envoy_pro_mini\"By Lynette Kent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a travel drive back up, the Envoy Pro mini<\/a> is a fantastic solution that won’t take up space or weight in your carry-on bags. Not only is this a small and easy to carry anywhere device, the storage capacity is huge \u2013 up to 480GB. You can even wear it around your neck like a necklace!<\/p>\n

I just cloned my laptop drive, including my image editing and viewing software onto a 240GB Envoy Pro mini. And even though it is an external drive, starting up from the external 240GB Envoy Pro mini is super fast.<\/p>\n

In addition, I also put some repair software \u2013 such as TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior, and ProSoft Engineering Data Rescue and Photo Rescue on that Envoy Pro mini boot drive.<\/p>\n

I carry that one as a back up to my computer, and I can also use it to trouble shoot my laptop, by starting up from it \u2026 just in case! I now use two or three of the Envoy Pro minis at a time \u2013 480GB<\/a> or 240GB<\/a> depending on the length of my trip \u2013 as back up photo storage.<\/p>\n

By copying the photographs I take to my internal laptop drive and then making copies to two 480GB or two 240GB Envoy Pro minis, I always have three back ups of the image files.\u00a0And if my internal laptop drive were too small, I would simply put all the photos on one Envoy Pro mini 480GB, and then make two backup copies on two other Envoy Pro minis.<\/p>\n

So basically, I now travel with three or four Envoy Pro Minis \u2013 one with a start up system and some photo and repair software on it, and the other two or three to hold three copies of the travel images.<\/p>\n

These little Envoy Pro minis house some serious storage space, and because they are SSDs, they are very responsive. Copying or cloning images or anything else is so easy and fast, and I need nothing other than these drives \u2013 no additional cables or power supplies!<\/p>\n

And did I mention that I can wear them around my neck!? Is that excessively compulsive about backups? Sure, but you never know!<\/p>\n
