PC In The Cloud Data Backup FREEEEEEEE

[Krandall]

Hey..

So this is random as shit.. BUT.... This is one of those SUPER sweet deals. It works for 1 pc, one year, and unlimited data...

It says to use your carbonite email account but really ANY email works. I just tried it and am currently backing up my music/photo's to the cloud!

It's good for 1 year and then after that, it's I believe 60 a y ear.

should get mom into doing this. she stores errrrrrthing on her little laptop, and it crashes constantly.

Lets kids play flash games all day long on it. little shits click every single ad they can i think.

On my computer I've got 2 backups of all important data in case of hard drive failure. But the thing I worry about is.. if there was a fire... I'd lose everything. This is where cloud based storage is my friend.

[Peelz]

yep.

not much important stuff is being stored internal for us now. 

Old kid pics on cd's. also on a few giant usb drives I have. But 90% of them exist on teh webz in some way. as well as printed photos too.

It's crazy the age we are living in....honestly.  alot changing.

Really?  Didn't you just say this:

Put those internal drives into an external enclosure and throw them in the fire proof safe after backup/sync....problem solved.

I run daily every other day backups of my data... I don't want to go to the firesafe... pull it out. plug it in.. every other day. :/

why not make your tower a fireproof safe???

My life isn't that eventful that I have new personal data four times a week, maybe after a vacation, special occasion, or every few months I have an actual reason to create a new backup.  Then again, I'm not imaging I'm just backing up personal data.

same....

backup every few months. Im nowhere interesting enough to need constant backups

[Krandall]

I don't do full, I do incremental so I'm not rewriting data. If I waited every couple months though, there's a possibility to lose a lot of data. Just easier. It's all automated so I don't even have to think/worry about it.

I'd pull it out....

be safe.
