Pretty much everyone this day in age has a high speed internet connection. Well, here is yet another way to take advantage of it for little or no cost!

Backing up your computer can be an annoying task. Given that if you want to do it “properly” you need to back up often and you need to store the files off site (in case of fire or theft.) No one has time for this. I usually just ask my self “if I can’t open this file tomorrow, how screwed am I?” If the answer doesn’t send me running to the store to buy a pack of blank DVD’s I generally write it off as not a big deal. But disasters do happen and always when you least expect it! So how can you appease the backup gods and still keep your sanity? Online backups!

List of backup services:

• Mozy - Get 2 gigs free or unlimited for $49.50/Year!
• Carbonite - $49.50/Year, Unlimited Space
• iDrive - $49.50/Year, 150GB or 2 gigs free!

These services allow you to store your files online at an off site location. They all run in the background so they don’t interfere with what your doing and most importantly they are AUTOMATED! So you can now sleep easy knowing that if you wake up tomorrow and everything is gone your just a few clicks away from re-downloading all your valuable data.
