More On Backing Up Your Computer System
Posted by Sandy Miller on Mon, Mar 17, 2008 @ 10:50 AM
As I mentioned before, one key component of a backup plan is to have remote off-site storage of backed-up data. The easier way to do this is with an online backup service. While these services used to be expensive, they are pretty reasonable now...in fact, there is one that is even free for up to 2 GB's of data. That can be enough to back up most data and word processing on a system-scanned documents, photos or video files take up much more space.
The free service is called Mozy http://www.mozy.com/ They allow you to download their software at no charge and set up scheduled backups of the files you select. If you need more space, the charge is $19.95 per year for 5 GB's.
If you have a major disaster like Hurricane Katrina or a fire, this will be so important to your business. For now, the only way to safeguard your data in the case of major disaster is secure on-line backup.
