Online back up is no doubt the smartest way to protect your data. Basically this means keeping a copy of your files on an online server so that if you should accidentally delete them from your PC you would still have a copy waiting for you online. Because they aren’t kept on a physical computer, but instead ‘on the cloud’ this means that your files will be safe whether there’s a house fire or a virus on your own system – and meanwhile it means you will be able to access them from anywhere with an internet connection.
But which is the best service to use? Three of the giants of online backup are ‘MyPC Backup.Com’, ‘Carbonite’ and ‘Mozy’. Some things to consider are the storage space provided, the price and other features such as money back guarantee. The strongest contender here across all three categories is MyPC Backup, with unlimited storage, a 14 day free trial, anytime money back guarantee and all for only $4.95.
With Carbonite you get all the same perks, but with only a thirty day guarantee – but unlike MyPC Backup it’s also available on Apple computers which means that more people can enjoy it. Finally with Mozy you get only 50g gigabytes of storage and for an extra $1.14. But then everyone has their preferences, and if you like the interface more you might be willing to make that sacrifice.
