I wrote about backup last week [1], I know. But already this year, I've seen at least a dozen computer users (many of them running businesses) who either don't backup at all or have no clue how to backup their important data.
Adam mentioned that he will start using and testing the heavily advertised Carbonite online backup [2] system and post a review soon. I started using Xdrive (an AOL company) [3] again tonight to test how it works compared to when I used it a little 3 or so years ago. Xdrive provides 5 GB of storage for free. After I test Xdrive for awhile, I think I will try and review Mozy [4]and Box.net [5] next.
For those who have heard my plea for you to backup, I'm curious if you are interested in online backup or if you are currently using online backup? Leave a comment below and tell me what your thoughts are regarding online backup, or backup in general.
