Methods, systems, and apparatuses used for backing up data stored on a source (20), comprising connecting a backup device (30) to the source (20), the backup device (30) having a backup application (264) stored therein, launching the backup application (264) from the backup device (30) without user installation of the backup application (264), identifying the operating system (215) and data storage structure of the source (20) to the backup application (264), retrieving a pre-configured list associated with the identified operating system (215) and data storage structure wherein the pre-configured list identifies data storage locations for data stored on the source (20), and copying data from the identified data storage locations on the source (20) to pre-defined data storage locations on the backup device (30). Previously backed up data stored on the backup device (30) is easily copied back onto the source (20) for restoration purposes merely by reconnecting the backup device (30) to the source (20) or easily transferred to another source merely by connecting to the second source. |
