Do you worry about losing data or even worse thousands of precious images? Maybe you are a professional photographer with many client portfolios. What is your backup strategy? You can do what most people do; buy an external hard drive to keep your backups on.I recently started using Mozy Online myself for the main reason that my external hard drive did fail and there was no way to recover it. I became complacent in thinking I had nothing to worry about. The problem is pretty obvious, these devices fill up and more importantly they fail. This just happened to myself yesterday,I turned my back-up drive on only to hear the click of death. The heads went out of alignment and it tries to re-start from the beginning over and over again. I am currently trying to have the data recovered by professionals it may cost up to $500.00 to have the data restored if at all I just need to ask myself is it really that important to me..Don't worry I have a great solution, online backup. There are a handful of companies that provide this service, however from personal experience I can definitely provide a positive testimonial about Mozy online. Mozy online is very simple to set-up and very affordable also at less than $60.00/year; you will have total peace of mind. Currently there are two plans based on how many gigabits you need protected. Mozy works in the background and once installed you don't even notice it performing it's background tasks. If you lose data you can go online and recover a single file or a complete backup set.. I really recommend this product over some of the competetors out there like carbonite, box.net and TrendMicro. Mozy Online Backup - $5.99/Month
