There’s no excuse anymore for not backing up

Submitted by root on Mon, 2010-07-19 16:00

Benjamin Frankin said “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” We all know the old adage, but how many of us really heed it? Most of us have experienced a computer crashing, our digital camera breaking, our cell phone being lost or stolen and the pain of losing so much important data that we don’t know where to even begin.

So why don’t we make it a priority to back up! Here are some of the typical reasons people give:

“It’s just too time consuming”. Backing up data is getting faster all the time as new technologies come out. If you haven’t tried it before or in a long time, give it a try now. Think of it as a one-time investment of your time to get the bulk of your files and photos organized and uploaded, followed by periodic maintenance. The software makes it nearly brainless to do these days.
“Money”. It used to be that you needed hire a computer geek to get all your stuff backed up, or recovered if your computer crashed. But really that’s not the case anymore. For less than the cost of one cafe latte each month, you have many inexpensive options to do it yourself. Fore go one of your daily latte’s and make it happen.
“Procrastination”. Do you think that you’ll have time to do it later? Maybe, but if a flood or power surge or computer virus invade, “later” is too late. If you can’t “find “the time, schedule it out in your calendar and make it happen.
“My data isn’t THAT important”. We all say that until we realize that 5 years of our children's lives is all-of-a-sudden gone! Computers crash on average every 3 years...it will happen.
Back up today. You won’t regret it..

"Being a survivor of the Oakland Hills fires of 1991, all we had left were the clothes on our backs. It was nightmare having to recreate every piece of paper for the insurance companies. HomeDataGuard did not exist back then, but it does now. There isn’t a bank deposit box big enough to hold all of these valuable, irreplaceable personal documents. For the price of a monthly latté, be...

My wife and I were on vacation when Katrina hit New Orleans. We were not allowed back into our City let alone our home. With no way of retrieving critical documents, our already distressing situation was compounded. We only wish that HomeDataGuard was available back then. Now we can leave and feel confident that we're covered with HomeDataGuard.com!

When we lost our home in the Witch Creek fires, one of the hardest things for me was not only the loss of my pictures, but my children's toothfairy notes (irreplaceable!). The HomeDataGuard File Cabinet is incredible...you can see and sense the item - a feeling like it's real when you look at it.

In late October, 2007, I witnessed firsthand the total destruction of more than 300 homes in Rancho Bernardo. The Witch Creek fire swept through middle-class and upscale neighborhoods alike, choosing the homes it destroyed at random. Residents had little time to evacuate, and firefighters were overwhelmed.
