When creating a backup, Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert allows you to choose the partition you want to protect, as well as the destination for the files. It’s all a very simple and straightforward way of backing up your important documents, photos, movies, and even your entire system.

In closing, Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert is a nice little tool that you can have on your computer when you need a lookout for a hard drive.
