When it came to backing up my data I always had the attitude that “hey my computer isn’t going to crash” it won’t happen to me until of course that day it did happen to me. Ok no big deal right? I can get my data back right? Well what if you can’t and you don’t have your important files backed up? Well you are shit out of luck my friend all because you failed to do one simple thing and backup your hard drive.
There is no reason especially if you are running a small business that you shouldn’t have some backup in place. You can backup to a zip drive, cd rom, removable usb drive or online backup company like Carbonite where they offer Affordable online backup for your small business. Only $54.95/year for unlimited backup. Try it free!
I recently had several of my blogs hacked and was able to restore it back immediately because I had my database and wordpress files backed up.Don’t let all your hard work go to waste by losing everything you worked so hard. Backup your files as often you can and utilize offsite backup companies like Carbonite.

All my work stuff is backed up, but when it came to home, I never got around to it. Then my hard drive crashed and the data was unrecoverable. Swearing ensued.
I bought a new one and the crashed one was replaced as it was just out of warranty, so now I use the replacement as a back up. Lesson learnt.
$54.95 a year for unlimited backup is really affordable for most small businesses. I take regular backups on an external drive but no-one can beat ‘offsite’ backup. Any idea about the transfer speeds they offer?
I’m using a Seagate desktop drive right now, but that’s for my personal stuff at home. I really like it, but it’s still a single point of failure away from not being useful…
Backup is an important element of any computer user’s computing experience. Fortunately, backing up your essential files is neither difficult nor time-consuming
Ooh this is really good. I’ve been looking for an online backup system since I started my small online business. $55 a year is a steal for unlimited space!
I have been very concerned with potentially losing my pictures. But I have been leaning toward mozy. How do they compare?
I have heard a lot of very good things about Carbonite. I think it is a very smart thing to have your documents and files backed up. I know my computer has crashed a few times, but luckily I did not loose everything.
It is important to always back up your files because you dont know whenever your drive crashes. To make sure that your not going to lose your important files. You can back up your files in any secondary storage like flash drive, CDR, external drives and also there is online storage to save your files.

I had a similar problem. I’m curious were you running Carbonite on you blog servers directly or backing them up to your local system and then letting Carbonite handle it?
