Thanks.

It doesn't come much easier than opening Windows explorer, performing a search, and dragging and dropping files anywhere you like. There are plenty-of plug and play storage options for backing up files.

Learning what files, folders, and executable are on a computer takes no time nor any great technical skill, and it is essential. I see it as analogous to learning what the brake, steering, wheel, and accelerator are on a car, and no more difficult.

Definitely. You know what all of the things do in your car and phone, so why not the basics about your computer.
Knowing file structure and operations is very important! It's not rocket science.

I know how to do all of those things and have many times. My problem is that in my early days I made backup files/copies, from programs like elements to different drives, therefore getting duplicates in various locations. And in some cases I made changes to saved file names, Like version 1, 2, 3 and so on. My error, I know. And I know this program on a USB drive may not assist me. I've had several different desktops and laptop computers along with several external hard drives, most at one time or another had copies/backups of my photos. They are mixed up as to backups and copies, my bad. Just looking for an easy way out.
Thank you for your response.

I've been reading about this and it seems to good to be. Has anybody had any contact with it or know about it? It a program on a USB drive that looks for and reads all your files to find only photo/videos files and then download them after it gets rid of and delete duplicates. They say that it is revolutionizing the way people store and backup their precious photos and home videos.

It uses very special technology that automatically hunts through everything on your computer. It finds every personal photo and video, and then places them all in organized folders on the Stick.

Rip Off! You can do all of these tasks Yourself on Your existing operating system; and You don't need to wonder about something looking at every file on Your computer wondering what it might do with that info!
