Article Body
In our digital age, the question of your existence isn't theoretical?"it's a tangible problem. Your data could vanish in an instant due to a power surge, theft, or unforeseen disaster. These digital bits define your life, and losing them can be truly terrifying. Believe it or not, it's a reality we all might face.
Most of us are "knowledge workers," a term popularized by Peter Drucker in 1959, denoting our reliance on computers. What started as a business necessity has evolved into a personal lifestyle staple, much like microwaves and cable TV.
Can you think of anyone who doesn't have a PC at home? With broadband Internet and home networks, we manage our finances, shop, stream entertainment, and stay connected from our computers. Our lives?"financial records, family photos?"are stored as data on hard drives.
If those bits disappear, it's as if you never existed.
We've all lost a file before?"perhaps an important letter or report. You've invested hours, and suddenly, it's gone. While losing one file is frustrating, imagine losing a lifetime of memories, music, and critical documents. Alarmingly, one in every ten hard drives fails each year, and recovering data can cost over $7,500 without a success guarantee.
This highlights the necessity of a backup system. What’s the best approach for you? At a minimum, back up to an external hard drive or a separate PC. However, having the backup in the same location leaves you vulnerable to natural disasters and theft. IT professionals recommend remote backup as a safer option.
Having experienced data loss, I've explored various backup solutions?"from diskettes to external drives. My focus now is on the best remote backup options, considering security, software, storage, ease of use, and cost.
Many companies provide remote backup, but only a few address all these concerns effectively. After thorough research, I followed recommendations from Consumer Reports, the Wall Street Journal, and more, settling on Mozy (Berkeley Data Systems).
I use Mozy for both business and personal data, recommending it to clients as well. Their unlimited data backup is affordable, simple to set up, and offers robust protection. Once you create an account, you download their software, follow easy setup instructions, select files to back up, and Mozy handles the rest.
The initial backup might take some time, as it encrypts and transfers your data to remote servers. Mozy runs in the background, ensuring your computer's performance isn't affected, and subsequent backups are quick, only updating new or changed files. I schedule my backups for 2:00 AM, receiving confirmation each morning that everything was safely stored while I slept.
If you're worried about data security (and you should be), Mozy uses 128-bit SSL encryption during transfers?"the same used by banks?"and 448-bit Blowfish encryption on their servers. They also back up your documents even if they're open and protect Outlook files, offering disaster-proof email management.
The best part? It's only $4.95 per month for unlimited backup. With world-class protection, state-of-the-art security, and automatic administration, you gain peace of mind. Why wait? You need a reliable, hassle-free backup solution. Go with Mozy!
