Naturally we should be concerned about our hard drives at all times. However, when obtaining viable prospects is particularly tough it is especially important that we do not risk losing any of their contact information. Our computers are filled with information and forms that are the lifeblood of our businesses.
Having lost (totally) a hard drive once, I never want to go through that experience again. Has this ever happened to you? If so you know what I mean.
While reading Newsweek's latest issue I read an article that addressed a very inexpensive (do I hear the world FREE?) way to do this. Actually it is free. Without paying a cent you simply register with Mozy.com and you have the ability to backup your files up to two gigabytes of data for Free (there's that word again that we love so much).
Should you be interested in saving more data you can upgrade to Mozy's basic consumer package for a mere $5.00/month. This provides you with unlimited storage capability.
Although it can take a while for the initial backup once that is done Mozy will run in the background. Files will be backed up only if a change has been made since the last backup.
The Newsweek article mentioned another company, Carbonite, that provides this service also. I did not check out this site and there may well be others so you may want to do a search before deciding which one you want to install on your computer.
Mozy is busy working away on my computer right now. Put Mozy to work on yours and be safe. It's FREE.
