Survive Your Next Hard Drive Crash
In the modern world, there are few things as traumatic as suffering a hard drive crash. Every aspect of our lives are on our computers. We bank online, trade stocks, store our photos, music and movies, correspond with friends, family and conduct business on our personal computers.
When a hard drive melts down it can be extremely inconvenient, but if you do not have a reliable backup of your data, it can be devastating - and life changing. Years of important data and memories can disappear in the blink of an eye.
Most people attempt to backup important files, but few people actually have an automatic, bulletproof data backup system in place. It just always seems to be that one thing they are “going to get around to doing”. If your hard drive crashes today… are you ready?
This need for data backup and file preservation literally created an entire industry. Today there are external hard drives (i.e. Maxtor), high-capacity DVDs, tape drive systems and other backup devices, but none can compare to an automatic offsite backup solution.
You may have heard Rush Limbaugh or Kim Komando pitching some of these companies and like most services there are many players in this space. When my clients began to ask me which I recommended, I took it upon myself to investigate the offerings from the major companies. When it was all said and done, there are two primary companies that offer an inexpensive service and I signed on with both. My choice hands down is MOZY.
To see why I chose Mozy and how this backup service actually saved me when my hard drive crashed earlier this year, read “Your hard drive WILL crash” and see why I believe this is the best online backup service. Then you can make your own decision. IMHO, this is the best online data backup solution - safe - secure - automatic!
