No Backup – What’s Your Excuse?

The same computer I was trying to clean this week from the virus happened to be loaded with many gigabytes of important family photos.

When I picked up the computer, I was told that those photos were needed off of the computer.

“I don’t suppose you ever got an online backup program setup like I suggested last time?” I asked.

“Ahh, no.”

Folks, online backup is not that expensive. You can get 2GB free here.

I still maintain my statement that appears on another page on this website somewhere, that is that if it’s not backed up, delete it now – that way you regain disk space and no longer have to concern yourself with losing it.

Eventually, the drive will die or something else bad will happen.

Here are three online backup services to choose from. All have either a free trial or money back guarantee.

Mozy Online Backup

Carbonite Online Backup

KeepIt Online Backup

KeepIt is the only one I haven’t used yet, it is kind of a newcomer.

These programs will help you decide what data needs to be backed up and then do it automatically.

Naturally, I recommend you verify often; try going to another PC and restore a file occasionally and check the file contents against what it is supposed to be.
