Can You Survive A Computer Crash?
Every year 43% of all computer users loose valuable data, irreplaceable emails, documents, photos and other files.
You may even have a plan to back up your data on a regular basis — but do you follow it religiously? Most of us don’t. It will be of little comfort to you if you meant to back up your computer but just never got around to it if the crash happens to you.
Maybe you have a good back up routine and back up to an external hard drive every day — would you loose your back up disk as well if you had a fire? Even people who have good back up plans seldom store that back up off site.
I have solved all these problems by subscribing to an online backup service called Carbonite. Carbonite runs in the background every time I am logged on to the internet. After an initial back up (which can take quite some time to complete) it looks on my hard disk and finds files that are new or have been updated since the last back up. It then automatically backs up those files.
Since the backup is stored by Carbonite (with several layers of encryption security) the files are available even in the event of fire or flood. And best of all, the back ups are automatic and I don’t have to depend on my best laid plans to do that back up.
So if you are 100% faithful about backing up your data AND you store those backups off site the you don’t need this (instead you need a superman cape!) But if you are like most of us mere mortals check out Carbonite.
The cost is very reasonable — just $54.95 per year. Click here to get a free 15-day trial and know that your business will survive a computer disaster.
