Data Back-Up

It can happen from any of the follow:

• Hard drive crashes
• Theft

• Natural disasters
• Accidentally deleting your own files
  

You may not be able to prevent these events but you can take precautions to make sure you can retrieve your files.

External Hard Drives       

An external hard disk is easy to use, since the drive can be written to just like an internal drive is attached to the computer. An external disk is relatively inexpensive, compared to traditional data backup solutions. In addition, portable hard drives offer the ability to take data anywhere with you- since the drive weighs only a few pounds. Any user on the move that uses a laptop or notebook will greatly benefit by utilizing an external hard drive.

When purchasing an external hard drive the most important thing to know is how much data you will be backing up. When you review a disk drive, always multiply your current data backup need by at least three when looking for data capacity. For instance, if your data backups are currently 50 GB, do not buy a model less than 150GB. The primary reason for this is because your data storage needs will increase dramatically over the next few years, and you will want a drive that can handle these needs.

Mozy Online Backup is the preferred choice by Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, Christopher Null of Yahoo! Tech and winner of the PC Magazine's Editor's Choice Award. It is the most secure, feature rich and inexpensive backup service in the world.
