Clickfree problem

[Liz]

I bought a Clickfree 6 recently to back up my PC.

A little while into it backing up my computer crashed! :roll:

Thankfully it recovered but, as there were no other applications running at the time, I assume it must have been caused by the Clickfree but not sure why?
I'm frightened to try it again in case the same thing happens.:confused

Any advice would be much appreciated.

did you get the power supply too or just running it fro the usb port on the pc?

i have known a single usb port to be overloaded by the amount of power these take from one usb socket

It is just run from the usb port which I thought strange as the Clickfree I have to back up photos uses a power supply as well.

Do you think it might be risky to try again? If so, can you recommend another device to back up?
