Back it up or lose it!
The thing that is very frustrating about having important data on your PC is that if and when your PC crashes (which is never predictable), you are bound to lose a lot of data that you’ve worked hard for all these years. I have (knock on wood) never had the experience of my PC crashing but I would probably never get over it if I didn’t back up my files and end up losing all the data I have. In my PC, I have stored a lot of our Family pictures even the ones that are old and rare just like the Reyes Family Portrait where Lolo Cardo and Lola Chayong had a picture with all their children wearing the graduation gowns.
IDrive is a backup service provider that provides encrypted online back ups for free up to 2 GB of data. It’s really cool because I don’t have to pay for anything and with the size of our weblog, I doubt we would reach that size anyway but if we do, I know that I can pay 4.95 a month and get extra storage with it. I wouldn’t take the chance of losing all our data here specially the ones that are written by our Titas and stories about their childhood that we want to show our younger Reyes generation. These stories are important to keep in order that our young ones get to understand exactly where they came from and the strong family culture that we have.
IDrive(http://www.idrive.com), a leading online backup service provider offers encrypted online backups for free (up to 2GB) and 150GB storage (for $4.95/month). It is easy to use, fast and secure.
The biggest advantage of IDrive over competition: performance. IDrive outperforms rest by a factor of at least 30% for both backups and restores.
Features include near real time backup of frequently changing data or CDP (Continuous Data Protection)and ability to manage multiple accounts from single admin account. IDrive also provides browser access to backed up data with fast search options.
Recent enhancements include ability to manage backup set and schedules via web from anywhere.
