Online Data Backup Services

We've all lost documents and photos because they were accidently deleted or the hard drive they were on failed. With the technology available today, this should never have to happen again. There are numerous ways to backup your data--from internal hard drives, high-speed external hard drives and even DVDs. But unless you get the data offsite, you really have no backup.

New online services, like Carbonite, allow you to quickly setup which drives you want monitored and continuously uploads changed from those drives to their encrypted servers. If you lose data on your computer, you can easily reinstall it from the Internet.

There are many online backup services availabe and they all vary from capacity and price. But if you have important data you need backed-up, an online data backup service should be part of your budget.
