This giveaway is part of our Three Gs For The Holidays event. Visit the announcement post to get involved in other fun giveaways, get shopping ideas from our Gift Guide, and learn how you can help children in need this holiday season!
I have a couple of questions for those of you who are parents: Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer?
Now, once you have come up with an answer for that question, answer this one: How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer?
The reason I ask is because I think it’s so crazy how much technology has evolved and how computers are used for practically everything now. The other day I was thinking about how we haven’t even started on the baby books for Boogie yet, although he is now 7 months old. We have been keeping track of all of his milestones on our computers through picture files, video files, and text files. In this day and age, “virtual” baby books have become more popular than the traditional physical baby books. But one thing we have to keep in mind is that computers aren’t perfect. They can catch viruses. They can get damaged. They can get stolen. And before you have your doubts about using a computer to store all of your precious memories, the same applies for physical baby books also. They, too, can get lost, stolen, or damaged. Either way it goes, everything is gone. Everything.
So after thinking all of this through (which I actually should’ve done long ago), I decided that it was time to back up the hard drives on our computers so that in the event that something happens to one of our computers, we won’t lose everything that was on it. It’s better to be safe than sorry. So we got into contact with the generous folks over at Storage Appliance Corporation, who specialize in backup and storage devices, and they sent us a Clickfree Portable Backup 160GB External Hard Drive! And I have to say that I am in love with this thing!

After plugging in the Clickfree hard drive via USB cable, I found out exactly why it is called “Clickfree”; because you literally don’t have to click anything at all in order for it to do its job. As soon as you plug it in, it runs on its own. You don’t have to install any programs or anything. Once it starts running, it’ll begin to count down to let you know that it will start backing up all of your files. Once the backup progress begins, that’s it. Just let it do its job. The amount of time it takes to backup your files depends on how many files you have on your computer. You can just let it run in the background while you complete other tasks on the computer. And it won’t slow down your computer either. It only used 15MB of RAM while it was running for me.

Once the backup is complete, you can browse and search through the files that were backed up. And that’s it. You can unplug the hard drive until you’re ready to back up again. For each subsequent backup after the first, only new and modified files will be backed up. So unless you go on a file creating frenzy, or you don’t back up again for the next two years, the next backup should take only a few minutes. Whenever you want to access files that you have previously backed up, simply plug in the Clickfree hard drive, click on “Options”, then click on the “Restore” tab.
You can also use the Clickfree Hard Drive to store files so that they don’t eat up the hard drive space on your computer. This is perfect for those who use laptops, and/or have massive music and video collections. You can keep the Clickfree Hard Drive plugged in the USB port and you’ll always have immediate access to those files. And since the Clickfree Hard Drive is so small and compact (only 4.52″ in length, 2.9″ in width, and 0.67″ in height), it won’t clutter up your desk space.

Note: Clickfree Hard Drives are NOT compatible with Mac computers!

I have approx. a couple hundred photos and videos. And I back up my hard drive but am not totally sure that the files are actually saved – I use apple online backup. I could really use an external hard drive. Especially since my first hard drive with this machine died and I lost some photos.
Your sidebar is up on my blog.
I subscribed.
I tweeted – did I mention how much I need this prize?

Greetings, My husband does the computer aspect of our pictures and videos. I am the editor! My best guess for the number of pictures saved of our two sons is around 400 and no videos. The pictures are stored on one computer. I would appreciate being entered in your wonderful giveaway drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
I am a subscriber to your site! Thanks, Cindi
I have thousands of pictures and some videos on my computer, some are also on everyone else’s computer on our home network, some aren’t anywhere else. It’s crazy keeping track of all of them! Maybe something like this would help me start keeping things about “neater” with my memory storage.
I blogged the contest. http://cutiebootyreviews.blogspot.com/2008/11/mommy-daddy-blog.html
I’d say I have three hundred pix and videos of my baby girl on my computer. Some of the vids and pics are uploaded to blog sites online. But I’d say probably less than a quarter. Just thinking about burning them onto a cd!
Just twittered the giveaway! http://twitter.com/BabiesGottaHavT/status/1028990558
Just twittered – http://twitter.com/tramad/status/1028993019
I have about 4,000 pics and videos just of my son’s first 9 months. I don’t have a lot of duplicates because I tend to use one computer.
Ok wow. I could SO use this right now. I have THOUSANDS of photos/videos on my computer right now. My laptop got fried a year ago and I lost pictures – which is when I invested in an external hard drive. Well, then THAT went kaput right before our move this summer for no known reason. Until then we did have photos in multiple places, but now I have no choice but to keep them all on my computer. I was actually hoping to get a replacement external hard drive today (Black Friday) but didn’t. Boy oh BOY could I use this. I’ve lost way too many photos in the past year to go without any longer!

We have hundreds and hundreds. DH asked what I wanted for Christmas and I told him, “All of the kids pics put onto CD’s!” We have some of the more recent ones backed up after learning the hard way when our old computer went down. Some of the pics should still be salvageable, but it looks as if about 20% of them are lost forever. DH would kiss your feet if I won this, it would make his Christmas job so much easier. He didn’t believe I was serious at first, I had to repeat my request!

Hello.. Really enjoy your blog. Keep up the great work!
-My answer: I have over 1000 pictures and videos and most are on CD. I really need a backup so this prize would be perfect for me.
-I subscribed to your blog, I have your giveaway on my sidebar & I just twittered your giveaway.
You can tell I really need/want this!
Qn1) Around a thousand.
Qn2) None. All are on one computer.

I have a thousands of Chloe’s photos in my PC. Usually my husband will do a backup once a while by copying the photos to his laptop manually. Surely you don’t want to lose the precious moment after your PC crashed. With Clickfree harddrive, I don’t think I will have any worry about crashing computer anymore.
BTW, Three Gs For The Holidays button is in my blog’s sidebar.

I have thousands of pics saved on my computer.
I have about 1/2 saved as duplicates. Mostly the older ones as I haven’t made duplicates of the newest ones yet.
I have over 800 photos. NO joke. I will DIE if I lose these photos. This is a great reminder to do something about it.
Is this external drive compatible with a Mac?

Thanks!!!
More than 6 gigs of pictures on the main computer, with backups on a portable, but permanently attached external hard drive.
I always backup pictures.
It doesn’t say if it’s Mac-compatible… I have about 2500 pictures and none backed up. Gotta do that!
My family has literally 1000s of pictures and many of them are duplicates on the same computer but different user. We have 5 people in our household and being a mother…I take TONS of pictures. I’ve feared so much lately that our computer is going to go out because it’s already giving us warning signs…anyways, I fear losing everything I have so a clickfree hard drive would surly do the trick for us!!!!

I have an entire external hard drive already filled with pictures. I backed up all that I had on my computer. Now it’s full and I’m working on about 4 months worth of pics (which is roughly 1500 pictures) that are on my computer! I upload them to kodakgallery.com and shutterfly.com just as a back up but I really need another hard drive!
GREAT GIVEAWAY!!
Thanks!

THANKS!!
We have about 300 pictures and dozens of videos of our kids. None of them have backup! Okay, this is stressing me out now…
I’m a suscriber. Thanks!
Oh my! I really need this. My burner doesn’t work on my desk top so I have to move things back and forth, 1 gig at a time, between the desk top and lap top just so I can burn and back things up. An external is on my “wish list” this year.
To answer your questions…
Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer? Too many to count!!! I am a freelance photographer, not to mention of course I love taking pictures of my family. I must have hundreds on my computer!
How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer? Hardly any. I try and get some things backed up and some things on my lap top but my USB drive is only 1 gig so it takes forever and a day to get it done. I have about 125 gig worth of stuff I need to back up. So you can see why I really need an external.
Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway!
I have about 200 pics on my computer
I think only half of these are copied to a CD
So I really need a backup system!
I take A LOT of pictures!! I have about 20000 or so on this computer. I do have some saved on cds and then have printed some pictures off and put them in the fire proof safe. BUT I have had my computer fried by lightening one time and LOST ALL of THOSE pictures! I would LOVE this…thanks for the chance!

*Raises hand* Guilty as charged: I have more than 1000 photos and more than 4500 songs on my mac, dating back to 2004, and not nary one is backed up ANYWHERE. I rue the day when my computer gives up the ghost and I lose those doggone files… I SHOULD know better, seeing as I’m a writer and my computer is MY LIFE. I JUST lost three years worth of files on my laptop when my computer crashed (I made a movie for my in-laws and it ate every bit of memory, killing my documents files–ARGH! Several of my book projects were on there… *weeps*.) And did I learn my lesson? Noooooo. My other computer is STILL begging for back-up. I’m all over this one!
I just tweeted!

I really don’t have that many as I’m pretty new to all this but what I do have are very dear to me and would be heartbroken if they were lost. I have never backed up anything because I just didn’t know what that meant. Now I realize how important that is and would just love this! Thank you so very much!

Ok that was just a scary thing to do! I have likley almost 1000 photos on my computer. How many of them are backed up? Mmmmm, maybe a couple hundred, only because I did save a bunch on cd’s awhile ago and have some uploaded to photo developing sites but I certainly have no method to my madness here. I think I need an external hard drive!!

I never realized how many I actually had until you asked “how many pictures or video’s do you have of your children on your PC?” I currently have 769 pictures and only 9 video’s ( I just recently started using a flip video camera ) and I’m sure my video’s will increase rapidly now. I was actually surprised at how many I actually had on my PC. To answer your second question “NONE” are backed up. Not smart I know but I haven’t figured out how to back them up yet but the “clickfree portable Backup 160GB external hard drive sounds simple to use and I sure could use it for sure. Thanks for Sharing ,,,,,now I’m off to blog about this great giveaway. BBS

I never met a hard drive I didn’t like (or could fill up way quicker than I imagined I could) I’l love to like this one permanently.
I have probably over 1000 photos stored on the old PC!
I did tweet all about it http://twitter.com/momfiles/status/1031589623
And Mommydaddyblog is all over my blog every day
I probably have about 200 on this computer but I have a ton on my last computer. I can still access it but it is near impossible to move them all to the new computer. this would be PERFECT! I could back up my old (slow haggard) computer and steal my taxes back, and my pictures! this would be awesome!
thanks for the chance guys!
Oh and there are no duplicates around except for a few that I have shared via photobucket. that is it.

I’m not a parent so my answer to both would be 0. But I know what it’s like to lose a lot of files/photos of family and friends because I didn’t have backup.
Our computer’s video card died recently so I know how valuable this is! I have saved the hard drive hoping someone will be able to help me get all the photos off. All the pictures of my son from when he was born until now are on there. There are hundreds! After this happened I told my husband we’re getting an external drive. I SO hope I win!
I have about 500 pictures on my computer right now. I do not have a duplicate copy of them at all. If my computer crashes so do my pictures….that is scary. Please help! Thanks for the giveaway!
We’ve got over 4000 photos/videos on our computer…I know – it’s ridiculous. We’re sorta photo freaks!! : ) Would love to have this to back up everything! Thanks.
Pictures on my computer=2700
Backed up pictures=NONE
i probably have at least 2-4 gb of photos and videos… mostly photos. when you have a digital camera you just get photo happy and i dont have any of them backed up!!! Scary!!!
We have several thousand pictures and videos on the computer, and only about half of them are backed up on another computer. We would love this!
Just found your site through a friend and subscribed! Great job – and I posted a link as well as a button on my blog!
Tens of thousands – and I’d say only about 25% of them have been backed up.
Probably between 5 and 10 thousand pictures. Of those, about 1/2 would be keepers. Of all of them, I’d say that I probably have 500-1000 backed up elsewhere.
Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Oh my…
I probably have over a thousand pictures on my laptop, not to mention video clips and things. Sadly, I haven’t backed up any of it as of yet. Winning this would help! Especially if it is as easy as you say..which I trust you on! lol
pick me!!
oh and I’m subscribed to your awesome blog!!
I’d love to win one of these! Our son is 2 1/2 and we STILL haven’t printed out pictures! Everything’s on the computer – everything. We have saved to disc, but we’d love to have something like this to be extra safe.
how many pictures? Thousands, thousands, thousands! We have some of them printed out and in albums, but not many are backed up digitally. Pretty bad huh? We could use the extra help backing them up. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer?
Probably hundreds, if not thousands of pics. Don’t know exactly.
How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer?
Probably just a few hundred between memory cards and printed pics.

Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer?
about 250
How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer?
sadly none!! =(
thanks for the giveaway!!
I think at least 6000…and that is just my laptop! I don’t have most of them copied anywhere else tho some are in some cds. We sooo need this. It is my constant fear that we will lose these pictures, also my computer is losing disk space fast!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have subscribed.
I probably have a thousand photos on my computer, but I don’t have backups of ANY of them!
If I had to guess, I’m thinking I have at least 4 000 pictures on my computer…and I don’t have them saved anywhere else! (I know, cower in shame!) My burner died (after burning 8 times only!) and so I have no other way to back them up! Please enter me into this contest, it would be wonderful to win!!
OMG I have hundreds of potos on my pc..I do have them on another pc tho because i learned the hard way
(
Love the giveaway!!
good luck to all
The answers to your questions are:
aprox 2,000
aprox 100
I definitely need to back up my beloved pictures as I would be crushed if something happened to them.
I cringe to even write this because I have had good luck so far, but I have over 4000 pictures all piled up on my laptop, spanning my daughter’s entire five years, and I have never backed them up. I really want to have an external hard drive to keep at my mom’s house, in case of a fire and to keep all my precious memories safe and secure!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Done laugh….. I quite honestky have almost 10,000 photos on my computer, and none are backed up. I need this!!!!
Well I did a little investigation and I’d say I have about 5Gigs of videos (thats a bout 10 or so) and uhmm 2,000 photos which is another 2-3 gigs or maybe more! yikes My computers been acting a little messed lately I’ve been putting off doing a fresh install because of all the back up troubles.(these are the times a mac is soo desirable!). This would be great thanks for the chance.
I’m a subscriber now.
I have 1,000’s of pictures & probably at least 100 videos. My hard drive is actually full, my dad (who bought my computer) couldn’t believe I already filled it. Probably 35 – 45% off that is backed up.
In March I lost all of my pictures. I got almost all of the back between my back up cd’s & ordering them online. However I did lose a good month or two straight of pictures. I got better with backing up, but have slacked. I’d love an external hard drive because I could clear out my current hard drive, so my computer could run better!

I have thousands of pictures and just a few videos of my son on my computer.
How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer? too many to count…
i would guess about 250 pictures, 200 of which are backed up on an external hard drive
I have about 300 photos and None are backed up! I know… I’m bad!
Great giveaway!
Thanks,

I have over 1,000 pictures of my family members on my computer. Some family members have copies on there computer and I’m unsure of the number on that. I’m so afraid I will loose them some day.

Oh wow, this giveaway is fantastic! Thank you so much!
I don’t have any little ones, but I do have hundreds and hundreds of photos and videos. Luckily, my boyfriend made copies of the photos onto my laptop as well, but we don’t have everything saved and even more importantly, all my other files – writing, documents – are only on one system, which makes me very nervous. We actually plan on purchasing one of these anyway, so it would be simply awesome to win one!!
When I last checked, I had over a 1,000 pictures on my hard -drive. I do back up my pictures once every so often on CD’s and USB cords. Currently 3 USB cords holds most of my collection so this giveaway is perfect. Count me in!
This would be awesome because I literally have thousands of photos, videos and songs I would hate to lose!
we have a couple hundred pictures-no videos on 1 computer with no duplicates
I have several hundred photos on a computer, but right now about 95 percent of them are backed up on another computer or external drive.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow! What a great item! I have about 200 pictures on my computer- and no copies anywhere else! I should know better too since I lost a computer a couple years ago and everything in it! I was forever getting things back – and never will get my pictures. Thanks for the chance to win!

I have too many pics and videos on my computer to count! thousands at least! We had a scare a while back with a virus- luckily everything was recovered and I STILL have not backed everything up!
And worse…I don’t have copies of most of the pics and videos anywhere else!
BadMommy needs a clickfree portable backup!
I have hundreds of photos and videos and I back them up on dvds, but just a week ago my PC died. OMG. I need this.

OMG! Let me just tell you that I have a 500GB external hard drive and a 250GB external hard drive and a 250GB hard drive in my computer and the two external ones are full. I LOVE to take pictures of my kids and videos. I also back them up onto dvd’s. I’m obsessed I know, I have over 5,000 pictures of my 2 month old. Pictures are my weakness.
I also subscribe to your blog.
I probably have close to 1000 pictures saved on my hard drive and only 1/4 backed up elsewere. This is just a disaster waiting to happen!
I subscribe!
I’m coming up on 1000 pics, between my two sons, dogs and family I’m sure I’ll have 1000 by the end of the year.
i have around 1,000 pictures and videos.
and i don’t have them as duplicates on another computer.
thanks for the giveaway
I’d have to guess about 2500 pics and I don’t have ANY of them backed up. Thanks for making me paranoid! I guess I really need this! Thanks!
I’ve also twitted the contest, coriwestphal. Thanks!
And I’m now a subscriber.
I’d say I have over 1000 pics and videos of my 3 boys. I have duplicates of most of them on memory cards, but it would be great to have this so my computer doesn’t get so full.

I have thousands of pictures on my computer, and, at best guess less than 20% of them are backed up…and most likely some of those are duplicates.
Thanks!
I subscribed. Thanks!
I have about 1000 photos on my computer (and my son’s only 7 months!) and I’d say 800 of them I have backed up on a DVD.
thanks

I have at least 1,000 pics and videos on our laptop and I’d say 3/4 of them are burned onto random CDs in my hubby’s office.
bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
i would say over 1000 =+=
and about 1/2 of them i burned on CD’s … sure would be great to win this !
thanks
About 250 that are paper copies before my digital camera then another 250 paper plus digital and another 500 ++ Four year old twins cause lots pf pics. Thanks for the contest
I have about 2500 pictures (which is making my computer run slow as I type this!LOL) and I have duplicates of them all on my memory cards that I save instead of reuse! I am so paranoid that I will lose all my pictures of my precious little man! This portable hard drive would be a lifesaver! Thanks for the chance to win one!

Wow! I just went and looked – there are 3,235 pictures on the computer. How many do I have duplicates of not on the computer? NOT A SINGLE ONE! That is scary.

I have about 4000 pictures that I just saved to a USB drive. This works for now but the hard drive would be better. Thanks.
I have a bizillion pictures and movies on my computer….and I’ve never back any of them up which is very scary!!!! I think i could really us this! Thanks!
I signed up for your newsletter.
I have 2 teens with music, pictures, research papers, essays, then I have from all of us pictures. My son who lives 1200 miles away just had his first child the only pictures I have are of the day he was born and the first week that my other daughter sent by email to me. I have had my last pc crash and we lost everything. So everytime my kids use pc I pray that nothing happens. I also know somewhat about pc’s but don’t want triples of everything to blog down my pc. So this prize would be so great for my family as we could store them and i would know that they are safe,
Thank you and Happy Holidays

I. Have. Thousands. With four kids, I can’t begin to count all the pics. I my paranoia about my computer hard drive crashing, I began copying them on a flash drive but quickly ran ot of room.

I only have about 150 now because last June there was a computer-cide at my house. After acting suspiciously for a few weeks before, one sunny day in June, Windows took its own life and I lost everything on my hard drive. Pictures, iTunes, genealogy research…all lost except for a very old backup I had on a million cd’s.
In answer to your second question, there were no duplicates of the pictures. Those were lost and I mourn the loss daily.

I have hundreds of pictures and videos of your children saved on my computer. Too many to count.
Most all of them are backed up on an external hard driver! but only because I lost them a couple of years ago. What a nightmare.

I have over a thousand pictures of my daughters on my wife’s laptop. Every so often I take those pictures and transfer to another computer as backup, but I actually have not done that in the past 6 months. So probably a few hundred pictures are not backed up yet.
I subscribe. Thanks.
We have more than a thousand (can’t even guess exactly how many) of our daughter and son on the main computer. On other sources, there are
probably one hundred – this prize would be great to make a backup of everything.
I would say that I have about 2000 large format files. I have a current 40GB external hard drive that I’ve just about maxed out if you factor in the video files. So far everything important has a duplicate, but I won’t be able to keep that up if I don’t update my hardware.
I must have THOUSANDS of pictures of my kids on my computer with NO duplicates (except on facebook)
I subscribe.
Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer? about a thousand!!
Now, once you have come up with an answer for that question, answer this one: How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer? I have a backup of all of them on another computer, but I still worry about needing another backup or two!!
I have about 100 photos of my children saved on my computer, and I have backups of the photos on CDs
Enter the giveaway!!!
This would make a perfect gift for my husband who stores not only tons of pictures but also his presentations for his workplace. Thanks for great giveaway

i have a few thousand family pics on my computer but no duplicates only the originals
We had one of these with all our photos and videos and daddy broke it thanks so much for a great giveaway
I have hundreds of photos of my family on my computer and very few that I have a hard copy of. Would love to have an external hard drive to put them all on.
I have all of my digital photos, thousands of my kids on my computer. I have prints of every one and discs of them. I am so worried of losing them and would love a back up to store off site in a safety deposit box.
I don’t even know how many. It’s a lot and I don’t think I’ve backed up my photos in a while. I’d be devestated if I lost them all. I think tomorrow I’ll be making some discs. My brother is always saying we should store the extra discs somewhere other than the house that way they won’t get ruined if anything happens.
we have about 1000 pics on the computer and it is a little scary to think that most of them are not backed up…maybe only about 200 are!
Approximately how many pictures and/or videos of your children do you have saved on your computer? Wow…probably over a hundred…
Now, once you have come up with an answer for that question, answer this one: How many of those pictures or videos do you have duplicates of that are not on that same computer? I have duplicates on shutterfly…does that count?
Awesome!
My computer crashed and I lost so much,so I would make sure I back up now and I could use this HD .Great giveaway.thanks
i just checked there are 2.7 GB of family photos! and i don’t have any duplicates of any of them! yikes!

I actually don’t have many pics saved to my computer. (This is a 9 year old laptop and doesn’t have any space left to save to, plus I don’t trust it.) All my pictures are on CD’s that I have to send with my husband to work to do, since this computer is so old

i have about 300 on my computer. about 200 have been moved to flikr, but about the other 100 have not been posted to flikr, so i need this back-up tech thingie!
My daughter is only 8 months old and we probably have around 850+ photos of her and video of when she was first born. I only have duplicates of about a quarter of them.
I’d say I have well over 1000 photos and video of my kids on my computer, and maybe 2/3 of the photos are backed up, but none of the video yet!! I know, thinking of losing any of it makes me want to cry!! I’d better get to backing it up, just in case I dont win! =)

Oh my, I’ve quite a few pictures saved on this laptop, along with plenty of research documents (as I’m a student), and unfortunately, I’ve backed them up nowhere. Seems every place I want to save them isn’t quite what I’m looking for. I don’t want to have to go through and upload every single picture, as I’m a photographer too.
