With Spare Switch,™ there are no cables to fuss with, nothing extra to plug in. You don’t even need to have both computers set up in the same room, at the same time. Instead, Spare Switch works using your high-speed Internet connection. And how it works is simple:

1. Spare Switch finds and categories files on your hard drive.

2. It sends an inventory report that you can revise or approve as-is before it packs or moves a single file.

3. With your OK, Spare Switch compresses and encrypts your files (up to 15 gigabytes) using a 256 bit cipher with a non-algorithmic key.

4. Data is transported over your high-speed Internet connection and stored in twin, secure data centers for up to a week.

5. When you're ready, just push a button and Spare Switch will download the files to your new computer.
