Online backups for free
I got an email from a person with a hotmail address the other day. At the bottom of the email was an advertisement for Windows Live Skydrive with 25GB of free online storage. That struck me as a very good deal as most free online backup and sharing services limit you to 2-5 GB. Everyone should back up their files regularly. Ask yourself what you are willing to lose if your computer is lost, stolen, or the hard drive just craps out. Do you have your pictures, financial files, resume stored on your computer? If so you should have that backed up. Having worked in desktop support and system administration roles I know failed hard drives are a daily occurence. The good news is there are great and free ways to backup your important files like Skydrive and others. Some are strictly for backup and others like Skydrive allow you to share files, link pictures and videos to blogs…Here is a list of solutions to check out with a great comparison chart.
