"The CMS 100 Gigabyte ABSplus drive works plug 'n' play on FireWire in seconds, no special software required - it has survived a flood, being trashed, rescued and dried out - it worked first time, still covered in Thames river mud. These drives have revolutionized the way I backup data, and transport it. This is the hottest computer tech item I've discovered in the past three years, a long period in computer terms."

Backup Solutions
You have made having to backup a very simple process. I now backup weekly or in some cases if I forget to do it, your on screen automatic message reminds me. As I am a traveling laptop user, your ABSplus device has become invaluable. Thanks for a great & easy to use product!

My ABSplus system has minimized my capital investment and extended the practical life of my laptops by at least 200%. How? By giving me the advantage of valuable space (is there ever enough?), by giving me the peace of mind that no matter what happens to my hard drive, my data is secure, and by making my life so much easier when I upgrade or move to a new laptop technology. I am on my third ABSplus system now, and would not leave home without it!.

Having CMS Products ABSplus is like having all your life insurance paid up. It's just a secure, good feeling to know if there is a bad crash and burn, I can be back up and running in no time. Thanks for helping me with a computing life lesson!

We purchased several ABSplus drives to test as laptop backup systems for our executives. We were spending several hours a week (at $100/hr) for technology consultants to administer server-based backup for these employees. Since the purchase, we have not had to use consultants, and estimate our annual savings at over $10,000. The 'set it and forget it' ease of use allowed us to implement the systems with very little training and virtually no disruption to our employees' work habits. Thanks for developing such an elegant and effective solution!

The ABSplus has taken the stress of data loss out of my life. I already had a close encounter with a previous hard drive problem. At the time I was using a tape backup system that was a real pain to use. Consequently I didn't back up as often as I should have and was only able to restore from a year back. The ABSplus is a no brainer. Plug it in and let it do it's thing. Now I do weekly backups with hardly a thought.

One day my Mac froze. When I restarted I got a flashing question mark instead of a smiling Mac. I knew what it meant because it had happened to me once before. But this time, thanks to the ABSplus, I didn't lose my data, address book and programs when I reinitialized the system. I just booted from the disk, dragged the desktop 2 folder over and I was back in business.

The ABSplus is a lifesaver. I travel frequently and have most of my data on my laptop. Before every trip I backup my data. Now with all the increased security I'm always fearful of someone mistakenly taking my laptop instead of theirs or the possibility of dropping it during the security check. With ABSplus, I don't have the added stress of wondering how I'll get my data back if something like that happens. I've already recommended it to two other Sales Execs in the company and they feel the same way. Read The Focus USA Success Story

I wanted you to know I love (is that too strong a word) the CMS 1.5 TB Backup system you recommended. It came pre-configured for RAID+1 so installation & configuration was a snap – it was basically plug and go. I installed it this past weekend (had to wait until no one was going to be using the server because the installation required a restart) and am nothing but elated! I highly recommend this unit for server backups to anyone who cares about disaster recovery. And the price you gave us was nothing short of outstanding! Thanks again for your recommendation! This is impressive!

I wanted to write to you to let you know just how grateful I am to you for your excellent products and customer service. my computer had a problem two weeks ago, and had I not backed up my system with the abs device, I would be lost and my business would as well. I love your product so much, especially now that you have upgraded your rescue disc that I plan to purchase another for a second laptop I have at home. In today's environment, when customer service usually means I get none, you are a shining light and I thank you for saving my sanity. I just restored my system in a little over an hour. THANK YOU.

My computer crashed yesterday. Blue screen of death. Couldn't even get to Safe Mode in windows. My backup system was at home, but our two local experts (and these guys are GOOD) worked on it all day trying to recover. Nothing. I went home certain that nothing short of a new hard drive or complete reimage would work. But figured I would try using my ABS... It worked like a charm. I am still in shock as is everyone else in the office. I think we all figured that we'd be able to recover data, but not likely from a catastrophic failure. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

CMS have thought it through and they have a winning solution. External v internal backup - external I leave in the office when I go on trips, if I get my laptop stolen it's still there when I get back. If it was an internal backup like a mirrored drive, if I lost my laptop I would lose the backup too! plug in and it backs up! it's that easy! bootable - you stick it in your laptop and the laptop carries on like nothing has happened. Absolute winner!

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.

Our company has successfully used and relied on the CMS Products ABSplus Desktop Backup System for over 4 years. We have more recently upgraded to the two drive RAID system and purchased a third drive to further protect our data by allowing us to swap out the drives and store our date off-site. In addition to securing our data this product has allowed for simplified transferring of data when upgrading our office computers/hardware. It’s a superior solution.

Real set it, and forget it software. After years of backup software that didn't work, what a change. Makes a perfect, up to date backup without me doing a single thing to configure or prompt it.

BounceBack Software
I have been using BounceBack Professional for about three years. I have found your software to be faultless in performance and the perfect solution for the home office. I have four computers and although they are protected from hard drive failure with raid 1 this does not provide any solution for files that become corrupted or are erroneously modified. Nor does it provide a solution for catastrophes due to power surge or fire. Using BounceBack Professional to backup my systems to large external hard drives I can swap out external hard drives and swap the drives from an off-site storage location to protect my data, even from catastrophe. In short, I have been very pleased with BounceBack and would heartily recommend it as a great value. Best regards,

Firstly, I would like you to know how impressed I am with your latest product. CMS BounceBack Ultimate back-up and restore software. It was simple to order, delivered the very next day, straight forward to install and very easy to use.
It is truly amazing, an outstanding design which exceeds all expectations.
Coupled with the fact that it can be installed in minutes and once installed, the computer can be started from the back-up drive via a USB lead, which then displays an “identical twin copy” of the original desktop complete with the entire operating system ready to go.
It puts a new spin on “ready to go” In fact Its faster than ordering a big Mac! There’s no hanging around whatsoever.
BounceBack Ultimate gives me complete reassurance that all my business files are 100 percent safe, secure and protected at all times in the event of a system crash. Complete peace of mind and instant recovery.
At first I was sceptical didn’t believe that BounceBack Ultimate could be so accurate and so fast, so I changed an existing file in both Word and Excel, moved a music and photo file, then I updated the back-up drive, to my amazement even the semicolon I added to an existing document had been updated on the backup drive.
This truly is WORLD CLASS BACK-UP SOFTWARE.
The sales hype on most products sold today out talk the products capability, but every so often something out of the ordinary comes along and that’s exactly what BounceBack Ultimate is. I predict that once the word becomes wide spread, the sales of this product will take off and all your hard work will be paid off.

I have been a CMS user for a number of years, and you folks did it! Twice last year, your backup "saved my life". I use my computer mostly to create worksheets by which I manage several investment portfolios, crammed full of formulas. I knew copies of formulae for backups were fruitless if I had a crash, 'cause they'd be gone also.
I got it all back together both times, using file creation and then using "drag & drop" from the backup files ! I was up and running in hours each time.
And now I find the Ultimate: your "Background Backup", which I spent some hours trying to "fool it" , but it is the ultimate in "foolproof" creation, design and operation. And: Iove it!
Please pass this along to the responsible, creative people at your place.
Thanks Again

Finally someone invented the "Easy Button" for backup! I have been at this for more than 20 years & have used virtually every type of backup from tape, to network drives, to external hard drives, to internal hard drives. The major flaws in all of these methods are that, while it is easy to back up copies of data files, it is often time consuming to recover them: and, most important of all, it is a royal pain to first reinstall the OS and everything else before you can access the data you have so painstakingly preserved. Naturally, nothing is ever lost when all is calm & there are no deadlines!

Notebook Upgrades
We recently had a laptop exhibit signs of eminent failure. After researching a few different products, we decided to go with the 250GB Easybundle Hard Drive Upgrade Kit. In sum, I'm impressed with everything your company provided: the 250GB hard drive, data transfer software, installation instructions, and tech support service. Your product worked flawlessly and saved us both time and money. I highly recommend CMS Products, Inc.

Last week the hard drive in my Toshiba laptop began to grind. A couple of times I got sort of a modified blue screen of death. Taking a gamble I ordered a new, larger hard drive along with bounce back software from CMS. Yesterday the hard drive Gods were smiling on me - I successfully cloned my old drive on to the new drive and installed it. It took six hours for the cloning but it was successful. It saved me from buying a new computer and, more importantly, it saved all of my data.
