My laptop crashed and I was not able to retrieve any information. My drive was fried. I was devasted. Luckily, I had a portable ABS drive that all I had to do was unscrew it, pop in the drive into my laptop and I was back up and running just like that…Took less than 3 minutes…I was so thankful to have had my ABS unit…Of course, I bought another one and so should you.

CMS ROCKS!

When my computer crashed, I was so relieved to have CMS’ ABS backup system protecting my data. It was a quick restore and nothing was lost. Later on I had difficulty with a hardware problem and when that was fixed, I was up and running in no time. I am somewhat technologicallly challanged and I still did it. CMS definately has one top product now with BonceBack Ultimate. Way to go CMS!

I agree with Ian S. I have also been using this product for several years and all my information would have been toast if I hadn’t had the CMS Backup device. I have owned my laptop for several years and could not find all my application software so without CMS and their BounceBack software which backs up the APPS, OS and data I can’t imagine what my dilemma would have been like. I can hardly wait to receive their new software called BounceBack Ultimate

Look at any product review, especially really good innovative solutions like the ABSplus and you get the people coming out of the woodwork with bad reviews because they had a bad experience. They are either competitors with sour grapes or they did something stupid while using the product.

My story is that the ABSplus is the only solution I have found which does exactly what it says on the tin. Every few weeks I use the backup drive to start my PC and then re-run the backup on the old one – much easier and faster that waiting for it to defrag.!

It is so simple, just swap it for the system drive and re-boot the PC.

I am sure there are manay many more people out there who are not too IT litereate like me and just want a simple way back to full-speed computing. Bravo CMS.

I started using backup drives from CMS years ago. They had one that inserted in the PC Card slot that was slow, but did its thing. I’ve upgraded since then to a USB 2 backup and it saved me on several occasions. A few months ago I was hit with a virus that took out my entire system. I did a restore using Bounce back and it restored everything just as it was, all my programs and music and even my web site favorites. This new version of Bounce back interests me, particularly if I can boot directly from my backup drive. I’d say they are definitely onto something because most backup programs kind of make the recovery job the hardest part.

I have one of their backup drives. That thing crashes my computer everytime I plug it in. I thought it was my computer until I stopped using it and my computer never crashed again. POS.
