SanDisk offering flash notebook backup adapter

SanDisk is showing off their new

SanDisk's FlashBack Adapter at the CeBIT show this week.

"The inexpensive ($29.99) flash-based card plugs into a notebook's ExpressCard slot -- so securely, in fact, that it's not visible from the outside world. The device will go on sale sometime in the second quarter, SanDisk said."

Features:

    * ExpressCard compliant, 34mm version
    * SD/SDHC slot
    * Slides completely inside your notebook ExpressCard slot - always leave it in
    * Folders and files are automatically and continuously backed up immediately
    * Encrytion to protect backed up files against unauthorized access
    * Restore individual files and folders or all files at once
    * Restore data from the SD(HC) card on any other PC with Windows
    * Deleted files & folders will be kept for up to 30 days on the backup card before permanent deletion
    * Extra product through secured online storage for nominal use. Access your critical files safely through encrypted channels from any PC with an internet connection

This sounds like a cool little tool, as it backs up and encrypts as you work, making backing up while mobile very easy.
