Online Backup And Why You Should Consider It
Nothing is more annoying and more frustrating than having your computer crash and losing all of your information. With all the music, movies, pictures and other files I store on my computer I was so frustrated when my computer crashed last month.
I thought I was taking all the right precautions. I had security software on my computer, I never visited questionable sites and I never opened up emails of senders I didn’t know. So I really have no idea how my computer became infected with this virus.
When I once again got my computer to start up, it made me restore all the original factory settings, which made me lose all the files I had stored. This is so disheartening, that I looked for another way to store my data. I immediately bought an external hard drive, but then I figured out that these too can get viruses.
I really don’t want this to happen again so I have been doing some research on the matter. I have found that there are several companies on the web that offer secure online file storage. That way if my computer ever crashes, I lose my laptop, or I just buy a new computer I can access all my files from their web site and not have to worry about transferring all my files.
Also a great thing about this service is that I can access my files from multiple computers. I don’t have to lug my laptop back and forth from the office every day. That means what’s at home I can get at the office and vice versa. It is really amazing how easy it is.
There is step by step instruction that you can find if you are unsure of your computer skills and think that this might be a task to technical for you. It is a real simple process; they even have an option that will do the backing up for you. And it is all secure as well.
I was a bit skeptical with the security issue at first but after doing some research and reading I am now more comfortable with it. The files you send them are sent without encryption just like emails are. I know that in the back of my mind that nothing on the internet is safe but if eases my mind knowing that this company is doing everything they can to protect my files.
Because I don’t want my files to be lost if my computer breaks down, I signed up for online backup. If you’re like me and you spend a lot of time on your computer, then it is practically a necessity.
