For our testing we simply did a couple backups of my compact flash cards and also connecting to the PC to navigate and move files. The CD311 did not require any drivers to use with the PC as it was seen by the computer as an external hard drive just as any other similar units we have used in the past. For backing up the compact media, it was as simple as plugging it into the media reader, powering on the CD311 and choosing to backup the entire contents. This unit does also provide the ability to browse any media and pick and choose files to backup also which is a nice little feature. Doing this might be a little time consuming but it offers some real flexibility of use.
