jDiskIndexer

Going in relaxing vacations or business trips with your whole computer, it's almost impossible unless you own a compact device. Cataloging your data in compressed archives gives you the liberty to carry it on an external pen, wherever you go.

Can be used on the go and takes little space

If you are looking for a simple and user-friendly tool that can help you accomplish that, then jDiskIndexer may be a good solution. Its main purpose is to help you index your files or entire disks, to various media formats, like DVD, Floppy or HDD.
The app doesn't need any installation since it comes with all the necessary files into separate folders, can be put on a USB flash drive, and run on any computer and location.

Configure the proper settings to get the best results

It's wrapped in an approachable and self-explanatory layout, consisting of a single panel, with the options neatly structured. Each function is shortly explained in the main window. Rest assured that all the generated files are saved in a particular directory within the destination path. To start, just hit the Index icon, give the volume a fitting name, select the unit, and the media type (DVD, SD, HDD, CD, USB). The process time may vary from a PC to another, and the tool might become unresponsive.
To make sure the operation was successfully finished, you can check the "Vol" folder. To open an existing one, simply browse its location. Plus, if you want to look up for a specific record, you can use the search bar. In addition, the utility lets you go to a particular page, and navigate between them, using the arrows.

A few last words

Taking everything into account, jDiskIndexer is a reliable and intuitive program that comes in handy especially for those who travel a lot, to easily carry your hard drives in a compressed and small-sized file.
