You’ve probably had that feeling. And you undoubtedly have heard the warning “Back up your data or else.” For Ms. Grove, the director of the Legacy Counseling Center, a nonprofit support organization in Dallas for people with AIDS, the story had a happy ending because she had backed up her data on a remote computer—what is commonly called “in the cloud.” With copies of everything, she could restore all her files.
A growing number of companies now offer these cloud-based backup services. Two of the best-known, Carbonite and Mozy, offer similar services with different prices, while Backblaze combines many of the services of Carbonite and Mozy. It offers unlimited backup for $5 a month per computer, and also backs up attached hard drives. If your computer’s drive crashes, you can either download the data or receive a DVD for $99 or hard drive by overnight mail for $189. Backblaze’s backup tool is one of the easiest to use: it just backs up all data files and once completed, backs up new files on a continual basis backups of deleted files, as with most services, are erased after 30 days.
