Online Data Backup With the Best Online Backup Service.
One of the scariest things that
all computerists see sooner or later is the Lawnmower Guy
bearing down on their poor computer like the 5th horseman of
the apocalypse. He has also been called
*The Blue Scream of
Death and the
Grim Computer Reaper!
It happens to us all...usually at the most ill-timed
moment. Computer disaster is
inevitable. We beg of you, know where your backup is safely
hidden for the day cometh.
Here at our website, we backup the backup of the
backup. It's the local backup solution. That is, we have
original files, another copy on a spare computer, and then
another copy on an external drive.
This is all well and good and keeps my data secure
and handy...as long it doesn't get stolen or some total
clumsoid comes along and spills a coke product down the old
CPU. Local backups can be fun. So, we also use an online
backup solution. We backup all that stuff to a completely
different state!
The fact is that lightning has already struck here,
so we know first hand how close we came to losing everything
in 2004 before offsite backups were commonly available. Our
principal computer was blown into the next galaxy, and about
the only thing left working on the backup, located some 100
feet away in another building, was the hard drive, which we
successfully installed into a spare (It wasn't connected at
the time of the lightning strike) computer so we could
retrieve our important data.
Ironically, had we not been in the habit of backing
up to the other computer (which was 100 feet away) in
another building, it would not not have been slagged also.
The lightning followed the lan line to the backup, you see.
So, what to do next??
The answer came along in the form of off the
offsite online backup. Though somewhat derided by the
computer critic snobs at the outset, nowadays offsite
backups and backup services have become something of a
standard for folks who don't need to lose everything on
their computer about a nanosecond after an act of God or man
destroys their hard drive.
Even the best 10 terabyte home hard drive in the
whole world will eventually become a boat anchor, either by
its own grinding machinations or through fate, so you need
to make preparations now before Lawnmower Guy can claim
yours for his own.
We believe the answer to the problem of the
dreaded *Blue Scream of Death (When
the screen goes blue you will scream!)
is
mozy, the online backup tool of choice. Let me
list a few good reasons here at the outset:
* Easy sign up and download.
* Unlimited data storage on PC and Mac.
* Files are encrypted for secure backup. Multi-layer
security.
* Automatic backup of the files and folders you
specify.
* Does not slow computer.
* Begins backup of only new files each time computer
is used.

Storing Your Stuff... Backup Solutions from Mozy
Mozy is so darn friendly that you set it and
forget it. As a backup solution it is a very elegant
process, as the knowing computerist with refinement says.
No Limits On Backup with Mozy Online
Backup
Mozy is the Best Online Backup Tool!
What happens first is that Mozy Backup will busy
itself backing up all your files and folders for the first
time. Even so, believe it or not, your computer's speed
won't take a hit. It will run as fast, or slow as it ever
did.
The only thing, that we all must come grips with
about the initial backup, is that we can't help ourselves.
We must keep checking on the progress of the online storage
process. However, trust me, this urge will soon fade.
You may go months without even remembering that you
have Mozy on your computer. In the meantime, the large glut
of gigabyte files and folders upload may take hours or even
days to completely make their debut on the Mozy servers.
The best method to speed up the process is to leave
your computer on over night. I can promise that this will
make your sneak peeks at the progress bar worthwhile indeed!
The reason your first backup takes time is that Mozy
proceeds in a manner that won't tax your computer
experience. After the backlog is safely stashed, your
updates won't take long at all, and again, you'll never even
know it's happening. Mozy keeps my data secure too. They
have mind blowing encryption. No worries there.
Restoring Your Stuff
Mozy Online Backup Tools
So
what good is it if you can't restore your backup? Note the
local computer junkman headed to the yard with another load
of dead computers and hard drives! Oh the humanity!
An entire king's ransom of
stored photos, recipes, and country music files won't do you
one bit of good if you can't get at them. Not to fear with
friend Mozy. They offer several different ways to get your
stuff back! It's fun and painless!
The Restore tab...
Allows you to restore files from the
Configuration window.
Virtual Drive...
Allows you to restore files from a virtual drive
using either the Explorer window or the My Computer
window.
Right-click restores...
Allows you to restore files from the file
explorer window or My Computer window by
right-clicking in the window and selecting the files
to restore.
Web restores...
Allows you to download or order DVDs of your
files from the Mozy Web site. |
Basically, in the case of a catastrophic total loss,
you can download your files and folders on another computer
or your newly repaired computer. Or, for a nominal fee, you
can have Mozy copy all your stuff onto DVD's and ship them
to you.
Otherwise, if it's only the last twelve chapters of
your latest million dollar novel, or little Sally's picture,
a few clicks will restore it quickly, and painlessly.
What does it cost to backup with Mozy?
Mozy offers a monthly plan at $4.95
per month, and I'm sure they have customers who approach
it this way. Some people just like pain. But me, I can't see
it. Volume brings savings, and we're all about savings! My
calculator shows that the installment plan will cost you
nearly $60 a year, which is acceptable, if that's all there
was...
→
But, if you purchase a year's worth, the price drops
to $54.45.
→
However, many outlets
are offering 10% off. My calculator shows that with this dandy coupon you can
get a year for $49.46, plus a free month of service.

But...if you purchase
two years of Mozy, you pay $103.95. Less 10% gets it for
you for $93.95. How about that?? They'll also throw in
exactly 3 months of free service because they are so nice.
