Preserve & Back Up those Memories with Picture Keeper *Review & Giveaway*

pk-logo250

I take pictures. I mean, I take a LOT of pictures. Last year, I was in tears, beyond words, because I had lost everything off of my external hard drive. I lost 2 years worth of pictures, videos, documents, memories, you name it. Thankfully we have a family website where all our kids’ pictures and videos were uploaded so they were able to help restore most of what we lost from our hard drive crash. I can tell you that I put way too much faith in to my external hard drive, and this is something that never will happen again. My pictures are precious. All pictures are precious. We can only capture that moment, at that moment.

I recently was introduced to a product that, I believe, will be a true picture saver and must have for any household that is like me (takes a lot of pictures!) It is called Picture Keeper. What is Picture Keeper? It is basically a USB drive that fits in the palm of your hand and backs up all of your pictures on your computer; automatically!

dsc_9819

pklogoPicture Keeper has software installed ON the USB drive, itself, so no need to go to download software from a CD, or from a website and download un-needed software that takes up space on your computer. I LOVE this!

Just insert the Picture Keeper drive into any USB port on your PC, click “Start Backup” and Picture Keeper automatically finds and saves all your pictures. That’s it! They all fit right there on the Picture Keeper drive. What’s more, subsequent backups are fast because Picture Keeper will only copy the newest images when you use it again to save your recently added or changed pictures.

And because Picture Keeper’s software runs right from the USB drive, you’ll be able to easily save pictures on multiple PCs (up to the drive’s capacity). I tried this out on my desktop AND my laptop. It saved images from BOTH computers.

Here is a video to show you how Picture Keeper works, from my laptop:

usb8gb1Users can also choose the more “advanced” options which allow you to select additional types of files or directories you want saved.

Specifications:

  • Windows XP/Vista
  • 512 MB RAM
  • ReadyBoost Compatible
  • USB 2.0 and 1.1 Compliant
  • Advanced Options Available Features:
  • 1 Year Warranty
  • Easy to Open Packaging
  • Lanyard Included
  • 30 Day US Based Support
  • Reminder Service

I am using the 8GB Picture Keeper. I have a Nikon D80, as well as I use a Casio Exilm that I use to take images for my blog reviews, as well as for personal use. I have both cameras set to take images at the highest resolution, so the files are pretty large. After I backed up over 1140 images to my Picture Keeper, I still had 84% left on the picture keeper. Amazing! Simply AMAZING! With a 8 GB Picture Keeper, it’s a snap to save up to 8,000 pictures! And because there’s no software to install, it’s that much easier. Also, the Picture keeper is Apple/Mac OS compatible!

Another thing that I LOVE is that you can set up a reminder on the Picture Keeper website. Why do you need this? Well, we all get busy in our lives, so it is nice knowing that we have a reminder that will be emailed to us knowing when our next scheduled back up will be. Love it!

    I was so fortunate to have a computer expert around when my hard drive crashed a couple of years ago. He was able to retrieve all my photos! Now I keep them backed up on CDs, but I can never really seem to find what I’m looking for. I also like the fact that I can save pictures from multiple PCs on the Picture Keeper. That would be wonderful!

    This is an awesome giveaway… knock on wood… I haven’t lost on pictures in a while… I think the 16G is a good start BUT the 160 would be more in my range right now. I have twins and have been trying to take at least one picture of them a day… granted the 2′s and 3′s was hard because I was lucky to remember my name… I’m still going through the 3′s… :)

    First, I would think I’d had a deprived techno-geek upbringing if I had not experienced at least one computer crash where I lost virtually everything stored on my computer – the only items salvageable were the monitor, keyboard and CPU housing. And I have a feeling that whoever created the Picture Keeper USB drive has gone through the same issue. Also, the feature I really appreciate about the Picture Keeper (other than saving my, uh, pictures) is the backup reminder. ;)

    Last year I was putting 8 years of photos on to disc. I was called out side by my husband just as I had highlighted all my memories. Not thinking I just got up and went outside. A few minutes later I heard my Great Danes being naughty inside so I went in to see what was going on. One of them was uo on my coutch and sitting on my laptop. I freaked and yelled at her to get down. When I got to my computer I was horrified to see that her big booty had hit the delete button. Franticly I went to my trash can on my desktop to retrieve them but they weren’t there. I was unable to recover any of them. The hardest was the pics of my dog that had to be euthanized due to cancer a few months before this happened. All but 2 pics of him are gone forever. This device is ingenious!

    All I have to say is that I absolutely love it. I need one of these Picture Keepers so badly. I have a great passion for photography so I have loads of photographs. I usually back them up on a CD but they really do not hold much, takes forever, and is so annoying. Having one of these Picture Keepers would really really really help me a lot because I could keep all of my photographs on one unit in one place. And it so easy to use. Plus I can take them anywhere and have easy access to them all. I so glad that you made me aware of this product. I gotta have one.

    I think this would help me save my precious memories from being lost. I take at on of pictures and by having this, I won’t have to keep all my pictures on my laptop and make CD backups. I can have a lot smaller and less costly way to back up my pictures!

    Emily Z says:

    I lost a whole year of pictures… the year my daughter was born because my husband thought he was helping me clean up my laptop and deleted all of my pictures that he thought I had copies of or put on CDs already. I was able to get most of the pictures because my mom had copies of my CD’s but it was a pain in the butt to have to re upload them again and make a new CD. This would be great!

    Yes, years ago. It was terrible, the wiring on my computer failed and broke the fan so it overheated (I’m still confused about what happened). My computer basically was fried with no chance of repair. I lost EVERYTHING that was on it because I was an idiot and didn’t use backup at the time. Tough lesson to learn! Thanks for the giveaway!

    Yes, our computer died on us before and we lost a lot of precious photos (and video files too). We had to learn the hard way to be sure to have a back-up and do it frequently! This would definitely help to keep our photos backed up. Plus the reminders will be of great use so we never have to learn that hard lesson again…

    We thought we were being smart by storing all the pictures of the kids on an external hard drive as well as on the computer. Well, the house was broken into and the thieves stole the computer. Thankfully, they did not think to also take the hard drive which was sitting RIGHT THERE! Now I’m scared. If I could dump everything on something as small as the picture keeper, it could go where I go.

    Rebecca says:

    I just had a baby boy about 7 weeks ago. After leaving the hospital we discovered that the camcorder had stopped working. Somehow messing up the tape of our sons first moments in the world. I am unable to get the tape out because I can’t get the door to open. A couple weeks ago, my camera also gave us a big scare when it stopped working. It just sat there….screen black and light blinking. Luckily somehow…it decided to work again for the time being. I was completely devastated to think we had lost all of the pictures of our new baby as well. Every picture we had ever taken of him was still on the camera. This has now taught me to be very careful with my picture memories. I would love to win this Picture Keeper to help make our lives a lot easier. Thanks for the chance!

    Imagine my surprise when I opened my comp(an old comp I might say) to find out that the HDD crashed and I lost all my son’s pic since the day o his birth till now…..

    Luckely, I send some of those pics to my parents and this way I got some of them back but most of them(80%) are gone for good…

    This USB drive(8 Gb) would make me feel more secure when it comes to my photos.

    Thanks.

    Mother’s day weekend my computer crashed. It is under warranty from Dell. The guys on the phone said they were going to be sending someone out to fix it. They said I would lose any information on it. I totally freaked out. For the past year I have neglected to print my daughter’s pictures and I was going to lose all of them. I also embroider, I have LOTS of money invested in designs and I was going to lose them all too. I had been meaning to back up my files to CD’s and external hard drive, but kept putting it off. So, I had to pay someone a fortune to recover my data before it was destroyed. Thankfully he was able to save everything important. This would allow me to save my most precious memories of my daughter.

    When our old computer died last year it was without warning and I was freaking out! I LOVE to take pictures and since our son was born almost 2 years ago I have gone a little crazy with the picture taking. I couldn’t believe that all those pictures could just disappear like that! Luckily I had done a website so I had those and we were able to get a few off our hard drive, but it still is hard to think of all those that I don’t have anymore.

    Since photography became digital I’m proud to say that I haven’t lost any so far! But that’s only because I always backup all our photos :)
    In order to continue to do so, it would be nice to win this because you can never have to much GBs for storing memories!

    I ran out of room for picures. I decided that the printing sites like Kodakgallery and Shutterfly that let you put “albums” on them were the key. so I uploaded all my photos and then deleted them from my computer. First, I found out I couldn’t get them back when I needed to print or post one… You have to order a print…. then, when you don’t order after a certain amount of time they erase your album…. when I found out I almost died!! All my photos are GONE. I think an 8 GB picture keeper could save me from having this happen again. I would have the control over my own photos.

I could only get back the few I had posted online or saved on cd’s but over %90 were lost forever. I now have my own son and am terrified that somethign will happen to my computer and I will lose all his baby pictures.

    I lost my oldest son’s graduation pictures….although I’m still in denial and I believe that they are in that computer somewhere and we just can’t find them! I’ve lost other photos as well and I’m in tears when it happens. I keep saying that we’re never putting photos on the computer again but we just downloaded 187 shots from our camping trip yesterday.
    I would love to have the 8GB Picture Keeper!
    Thanks for the chance to win!

    I lost everything last year and ,I am still upset. I had pictures from 5 years and some were the last last pictures of my oldest son and they are gone forever.
    I now know to backup or even post to a site then I can retrive them
    I would love the 8GB because I am the only picture taker of the family . I then pass them out to everyone. I enjoy taking photos ,it relaxing and I feel as if I am keeping that moment in time.

    Thanks

    The Picture Keeper sounds wonderful. I have only lost a couple of pictures on the computer. I had the worst happen i had old scrapbooks and photo albums stored in the basement. It flooded I lost them all. They are irreplaceable as I didn’t have them scanned into the computer. Any that were salvageable are now in my computer. The Picture keeper would be great. I know I wouldn’t lose them if they were on the Picture Keeper.
    Thanks for the chance.

    Oh my god! your story is just like mine. I had years of photos on my computer and just last year I had lost every thing due to a hard drive crash. My computer guys tried his best to save any thing from it but no luck. I wish I know about those picture keepers it would have saved me from a lot of tears and heartache. I am a scrapbooker and when I lost all those photos I kicked myself for not getting any prints done. I have gotten into a routine as soon I load my pictures onto my computer to save what photos I want to a jump drive and get prints made A.S.A.P
    I think I would like one of those picture keepers. I like to get my hands on the larger picture keeper I love it that it stores so many photos (8000) plus it founds the photos automatic.

    Wow, Picture Keeper is amazing! I think that this would completely help me because I take tons and tons of pictures and although I always say I’m going to copy them right away, it always takes me awhile. It seems so easy to just insert it in your usb and it finds the pictures and copies them. I love it!!

    When my son was a baby I had over two thousand pictures saved on my computer. Along came a lovely virus that completely fried my computer and I lost all my pictures. I was devastated!! I totally need this device to keep my pictures safe!!!

    I would pick the 8GB if I win. We have lost pictures, still trying to retrieve, from our old computer. We lost track of bunches of pictures in our big move from Indiana to upstate New York. Still searching out these. Would love to have all of our pictures scanned, digitalled and protected with the picture keeper. Much needed.

    This would definately protect our precious memories. Pictures are the truest keepsakes of our sweet times with our babies, watching them grow up so quickly. Pictures are the way to hang on to it.

    Blessings
