I just ordered 2 of these. It's a USB stick that can be inserted into a USB A on one side and a USB C on the other. I plan to use one as a linux drive so that I can dual-boot linux/Windows on my PC again. :)

After reading up on them, I've found out that it has software for auto backups, encypt files/folders, and more via software that you can download. The other drive will be for auto backups with encryption.

EDIT: On top of this, my sister just gave me a 2GB USB stick because she didn't need it.  ;D

They have differential, incremental, and full backups. I have it set to incremental since it will only update the last changes...saving time and disk space. It didn't take long at all for my drive that takes up 3TB+...maybe less than 3-5 minutes. :)

It uses Acronis True Image, which has been around for a long time and works very well.

I use Acronis to do backups on to my NAS for my partners PC.
Do you get full USB 3.1 speeds? I had a look at the site only some are faster then 150MB/S

I have 2 x 2TB SSD one has the main drive (operating system plus partitions) and the other is what I used to clone the Windows partition once a month. I also have a program 'Syncbackfree' that I use to copy the other partitions on the main drive to the backup drive weekly as they are the ones that change a lot with adding files etc. By doing it that way I'm not cloning the whole 2TB drive only the operating system, then if I have problems all I have to do is swap the drives.

It actually reminds me that I should do that today   :rgton

I'm not sure, tbh. I do know that it's very fast. I'll have to look into it when I get a chance.

EDIT: I looked at the Android version for Acronis and Sandisk and both have bad ratings. LOL I looked around for something else but couldn't seem to find anything similar for Android. Both software work great on the PC, tho.

EDIT AGAIN: I did find this bit that I think I might try.
