I have found a new personal backup tool for computers that I want to recommend. This is a good idea to backup your important documents, pictures or other files that you have on your PC. I can't tell you how many times I have worked with friends, family, clients or co-workers where there PC or hard drive crashed and they lost a lot of data. I have lost some data to hard drive failures myself.
Anyhow, the software is called MozyHome. It is one of the leading online backup providers out there. In fact, I found that they supply the software to many of the other companies providing online backup services. They have several versions - two of which pertain to this audience. The first is a FREE account that allows you to backup 2GB of data. It does not allow much space for backup - but then again it is FREE. I did this while travelling - I only backed up our vacation photos. They also offer an unlimited version for $4.95/month. This pricing is a steal in my opinion.
Email or call me if you have any questions on this subject. If you are not backing up your data - you are setting yourself up for a lot of frustration!
