When’s the last time you backed up your data?

We spend count­less hours work­ing with our com­puter, cre­at­ing value and stor­ing it to this fra­gile spin­ning disc called a Hard Drive. What hap­pens when thing go bad.

Hope­fully, you’ll have tried out the new, free, backup ser­vice called Mozy. You get 2+ GB of stor­age for your backups. Simply down­load the cli­ent, set up the sched­ule and drives (no net­worked drives allowed, local only) and then your data is safe.

I’m try­ing it out now..not that I’ve ever needed to restore from backup, but hey, you never know.

The 2+GB stor­age is interesting…it’s an incent­ive to get you to spread the word (like I’m doing here). This refer­ral plan gives you more backup space for every­one that you refer to the site. In my case, should you want to try it out (and help me out at the same time) use this code:

1 online backup October 4, 2006 at 11:00 am

Interesting. We have launched a service based on the software by Remote Backup Systems, Inc. http://remote-backup.com

We will offer a much more comprehensive service than what these Ëœcheapos’ are offering, and will exclusively target the business sector. Our online backup software natively supports open and in-use Exchange and SQL databases, among other advanced functionality that is best suited to SMB/SMEs.

Looks like online backup is going the Ëœlowest common denominator’ route, somewhat like hosting did a few years back. Best of luck to those who put price before service with their critical business data. Give me chills just thinking about it!
