D’Oh! Where are the backups when you need them?
This has probably happened to all of us at one time or another: We were working on something, and then suddenly something happened and we lost our work. Even worse, we didn’t have a backup copy so we had to start from scratch. To put it simply, this sucks. Now usually this is something that is specific to us, such as a single spreadsheet or word document. While hard to replace, it doesn’t always have major repercussions. However, what would happen if your whole office had this problem? Or you lost the major database for your project? This would be disastrous, and this is where backing up your work really counts.
On a corporate level, there are a number of companies out there that provide a professional backup/storage service. One such company is IBackup. Taking a look at their website, they offer a wide variety of backup and storage services at competitive prices. They have also been rated highly in reputable magazines such as PC World. In fact, they listed it as their favorite service out of the ones they reviewed (see article here).
Another nice thing about this service is that it has been around since 1999, as opposed to some of these newer companies who can only vouch for a few years. One of things that I always look for when dealing with any business (web or not) is longevity and experience, which IBackup seems to have. They also provide a free trial, which I plan on giving a shot as I’ve been looking for something like this service for awhile now. They have a 5GB plan for $9.95 a month which I also plan on taking a look at, as it seems a pretty good deal for my needs.
Here’s the link to the site, give it a spin and let me know what you think:
