You know that sickening feeling. All of a sudden your computer screen goes black. No matter what you do, you cannot backup data after it’s gone. No bringing your computer back to life. All your saved data – pictures, Word files, saved emails, downloadable programs and ebooks – all gone!
Prevent this from happening to you.Having learned my lesson the hard way, let me share what I learned.
I purchased an external Simpletech hard drive to backup my PC files. But then I thought, what if? What if a weather catastrophe like a tornado or thunderstorm wipes out even my external hard drive? What if there is a fire? I knew I had to look for a more secure system using an offsite data backup service.
I found it! Mozy is an online storage system and data backup service that has earned PC Magazine’s recommendation. After much research, this appears to be one of the more simple yet effective systems to use. The great thing about using an online backup solution is that no additional hardware is required. Be forewarned though. When first transferring files, it takes an extremely long time to backup online. Small price to pay for the peace of mind it provides. Find out more information about this remote online computer backup system. You’ll be glad you did.
Need Online Storage for Photos?
I almost forgot to tell you Mozy has a free program for up to 2GB of storage, a personal plan, and a business plan. If you need a place to store your personal photos, the free plan might be a great option.
