Did you know it's possible to lose ALL the files on your computer? It is, and I see it every week.
With Online Computer Backup your files will be backed up automatically and securely online. You'll never have to worry about backing up your computer again!
What Is Online Backup and How It Works
Online backup is the latest and best way to backup your computer files. Essentially, your computer files are automatically backed up to a secure remote location via a program running on your computer.The program that does this online backup for you is called Mozy Online Backup, and that's the program I'll be referencing in this Lens.
If you choose the Mozy unlimited (yep! that's unlimited storage) backup plan you could backup your entire computer automatically everyday!
If you're only interested in just backing up a few small, yet critical documents then you can back those up for free using MozyHome.
MozyHome offers you 2 Gigabytes of free, secure online storage. However, if you're like most of us with a lot of data you should choose the Mozy Unlimited Backup for just $4.95/month.
Traditional Backups Just Aren't Enough
So, what are "Traditional Backups" and why should you STOP using these backup methods:Traditional Backup Methods are...
-Backing Up To CD or DVD Media
-Backing Up To Flash Drives (USB Sticks,Memory Sticks)
-Backing Up To External USB Hard Drive
Why You Should NOT Use Old Traditional Backup Methods
1. You can lose CD\DVD's and flash drives.
2. Backup is almost always a manual process
3. They are highly susceptible to physical damage and wear resulting in data loss.
4. Susceptible to theft, fire, flood, etc...
5. Your Files are not encrypted. If someone steals your memory stick or external hard drive they will be able to access all the data on it.
As you can see from the list above, online backups are the only way you should ever backup your computer files.
