Online Backup - IDrive - Remote Data Backup - For Windows and Mac


Last week my home was broken into and 4 laptops with over a decade of my work were stolen. Some of it I have backed up, but not all...

Let this be a lesson to you - BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP.
Preferably online, so that no matter what type of disaster strikes, your files are safe and secure.

Not bad...

Enjoy : )

This is a very interesting article, if a tad dry.
I was impressed by how accurately the article analyzes our current state of affairs, even though it was written over 60 years ago...
