Our take on the Picture Keeper Pro Automatic Photo Backup Device

by Tara W.

These days, you're far more likely to have photos stored on your computer than have negatives hidden in a box or printouts to hold onto your memories forever. Picture Keeper makes it easy to back up the images on your computer so you'll have a second copy of all your irreplaceable family photos.

The Picture Keeper is extremely easy to use, too. Plug the included cable into a USB port on your computer and with one click, it searches for photo files and creates a backup copy. After you've added more pictures to your computer, connect the Picture Keeper again and it'll back up just the new photos without creating duplicates of your older photos. This is a great way to preserve memories for years to come.

Features

Overview: The Picture Keeper Pro is a 250 GB USB drive for storing digital photos. It contains software that locates your photos on your computer and makes a backup copy of them. It keeps track of which photos have been stored, and copies only the new photos you have added or modified since the last backup. The Picture Keeper Pro can be used on multiple computers, including Windows and Mac OS.

Ease of Use: The Picture Keeper Pro is simple to use. There is no software to download, and only one cable to connect. The software is built-in, and works automatically when you plug the Picture Keeper Pro into your computer's USB port. The Picture Keeper Pro is USB 2.0 and 1.1 compliant.

Storage Capacity: Based on an average size of 1 MB per picture, the Picture Keeper Pro can store 250,000 pictures.

Compatibility: The Picture Keeper is compatible with the following operating systems*: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS X (v10.4.11 or later). Other requirements include 512 MB minimum RAM and a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port. Out of the box, the Picture Keeper backs up JPEG files on your computer. Advanced options are available to allow you to backup other file types, such as TIFF, RAW, and MOV.

* Not compatible with Linux operating systems.

Backup Time: Initial backups can take extra time, from approximately 15 minutes for up to 1000 pictures to a couple of hours for up to 8000 pictures. Subsequent backups will be shorter.

Backing up pictures to an external disc is easy, right? You just open up your folders, select the images, drag them to the external drive folder and... yeah. Simple in concept, time-consuming in execution. Not so when I tried out the Picture Keeper Pro.

Once I plugged it into the USB port, I opened up drive's window and away we went. All I had to do was select "Start Backup" and the Picture Keeper copied all my photos (and their folders) over. Within a few minutes, everything was done, and I could then run slideshows from the Picture Keeper, or plug it into another computer and copy pictures.

Very simple, very handy -- and much easier then the way I backed up images before. One word of caution, though. The instructions recommend you organize your pictures BEFORE copying. That's a good idea. If your folders are all in order before copying, images will be much easier to find afterwards.

Picture Keeper Pro Automatic Photo Backup Device

Written By Jim, San Antonio, TX on Sunday, March 10, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The Device did not function as advertised. After I connected device and started Backup, it downloaded photos of the Music CD's on my computer. I reset device, checked my Photo File and tried Backup again, it downloaded temporary Internet files and a lot of my browsing activity. It found every image on my computer except my Photo File. I am returning the device. Thank you.
Pros:
None that I could discern.
Cons:
Does not function as advertised.

Must have missed information that device not compatible with Apple.

Effortless backup

Written By Jim B, manorville, NY on Tuesday, January 24, 2012
 
The best thing I can say is that it works as advertised. These days that says it all. It scanned my system and picked up over 50,000 photos from my collection without any interaction on my part other than plugging it in. Intial backup took hours which is understandable.
Pros:
Easy Install. Effortless Backup
Cons:
None so far
