Backup your USB key for Mac

My dead key

Not backing up the data of my USB key is a mistake that I will not make again. My LaCie iamakey USB drive just dropped dead. Neither my Mac nor any other computer will recognize it anymore.

I have found a small and simple app, to backup the data of my new USB key, which is still a useful accessory for me, since access to Evernote is regrettably restricted at my work :

Easy. Only one tricky step : checking that it has the proper source name (all in big caps in my case, and not as autofilled in big and small caps). Renaming the source in big caps is done, and it now works perfectly well each time the key is inserted.
