Data Backup Chargers

Bleep is a Phone Charger That Powers Up a Battery & Backs Up Data

— October 25, 2014 — Tech
bleep is a smart cable that's designed to do a double duty—charge your phone and simultaneously, back up the data on it. When connected to the charger cable, bleep requires no Internet connection and automatically starts syncing your photos, video, chat history and music, so that you can go to sleep knowing that your data is safe and secure. To add extra peace of mind, the device also is password-protected so you can be sure that no one is looking at your stuff without authorization.

The memory stick charging cables for iOS and Android devices come equipped to handle different amounts of daa, including 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models. The phone accessory was recently introduced as a project on Indiegogo, and already, it has been highly successful at surpassing its initial crowdfunding goals.
