The Clickfree Wireless Backup is a set-and-forget backup solution for laptops. We didn't have any problems setting it up -- it worked just as promised. You can schedule backups to your liking and also select which files the software should be backing up. For home users who want to back up their notebook (or desktop computer) wirelessly, the Clickfree Wireless Backup is perfect. It's even great for users who aren't tech-savvy.
