So, again, I have had my external hard drive (EHD) fail! I lost a lot of important data, but luckily I had meticulously backed up gobs and gobs of photos before I went on vacation earlier this month. While Caley discussed this with Tom, Tom informed him that he’d started using Mozy - an online backup company. For only $4.95 a month you can have UNLIMITED backups! I ran and signed up immediately. I’ve spent this afternoon getting stuff cleaned up and ready to backup. It will support any drives installed on your computer and also EHDs plugged into your computer.

Check it out, I promise you won’t be disappointed! If you sign up for a year you get one free month and if you sign up for two years you get three free months! I signed up for 2 years for only $103. It would cost that just in blank DVDs not to mention how much time it would take to get all of my scrap materials properly backed up. It runs in the background on your computer steadily backing up any folders/file types you tell it to watch for.

It takes awhile to get it up and running - especially for all my digi-photo loving, digi-scrap addicted friends. We’re talking several days to get everything uploaded, but again, it just works in the background uploading and will then watch for changed/new files and will back them up automatically.

Edited to add - I forgot to say they even have free accounts! You can sign up for a free 2gb account.
