onlinebackup

Have 3 computers in the house.

Had been thinking about online backup for ages. But kept putting it off. Typical procrastination ofcourse! Until one day! My desktop just decided to blow! 

The weiderst thing was that very day i was on the phone to a client who told me her laptop had crashed and she lost all her data on it- her pictures, her business spreadsheets and plans, her email contacts, her family videos- basically her life! You know what its like- everythings on the coputer these days.

anyway i remember feeling bad for her as she told me the story and at the same time thinking "oh i must remmber to do onlinebackup myself for my computers too- dont want that to happen to me! And low and behold what happens! Yes that very night! You wouldnt have even belived it if it wans me it happened to! 

Anyway i got seriously freaked out as loadsa my stuff was on that desktop. Anyway i had to go through this long process of phoning the manufactures to get a new adapter and wait in anticipation if i could ever get access to my desktop again!

At that point i took the hint from the heavens above that onlinebackup was way overdue and i got on the case reviewing which on;inebackup service was the best. I had to get the other laptop and desktop protected. Procastination was definately not an option!

Anyway after ages of researching this is wat i understood;

there are 2 major player in the market of onlinebackup:

1) Mozy

2) carbonite

There are free vs paid onlinebackup services

1) free
