One In Every Ten Hard Drives Fail Each Year. Are You Ready?

Chances are you have a lot of important stuff on your computer like financial documents, email, digital photos, music and more.

Unfortunately, computers are vulnerable to hard drive crashes, virus attacks, theft and natural disasters, which can erase everything in an instant.

Just like flossing and exercising, we KNOW we need to do it; but we it's just hard to keep doing it EVERY day.

So...an ideal backup solution should:

• Not require you to think about backup.
  Backup should be set up once, and then work automatically.

• Keep your files encrypted.
  Your backup files should be encrypted and stored in a secure, remote location that's only accessible to you — from anywhere.

• Be smart.
  Your backup system should be smart enough to only back up data that's not already been backed up, only back up parts of a file that have changed, and be able to back up open and locked files.
  

Now, there's a solution that will allow you to "set and forget"; and not have to worry about your data again ==> MozyHome.

Founded in 2005, Mozy is an EMC company that offers an award wining, automatic, remote backup solution.

If you need more space, their Unlimited Backup plan costs a measly $4.95 a month.

They also offer MozyPro for business users.

Or...you can go with one of the alternatives:

• Do nothing and don't worry about backup. (also try closing your eyes, plugging your ears and repeating "I'm in my happy place, I'm in my happy place.")
• Burn a new CD or DVD every Sunday night and store it at your brother-in-law's office.
• Buy a $200 external hard drive and hope your office doesn't burn down.
• Run a cron job of rsync, gzip and mcrypt piped over ssh to your friend's server over his DSL line.

Of course, we think MozyHome is the best and easiest solution to the backup problem!
