Safe is a waste of money and time. They can heat up in a fire and toast your drive.
If you have the money, you collocate. Baring that, used a good cloud service.
But, my favorite just for ingenuity, is Crashplan’s free - with no advertising - “friends” backup.
You install the client...your friend or family member installs the client...give each other the code to connect to the other and just backup to each other.
448-Blowfish encryption so, no one is getting into the others files.
Thanks everyone.
Psycho, do you know anything about crashplan’s political leanings? As conservatives we need to start paying attention to the political leanings of the people we do business with.
The CEO of crashplan is Matthew Dornquast. He quotes Isaac Asimov, past president of the American Humanist Association, on his FB page. That is all I have found so far.
Yep, and one of the first thing a thief will steal is your computer equipment. I have used crashplan for two years now and like it very much. Just install the application and forget it. As I said on another thread, a decision on whether to backup up off-site is directly related to how much value you put on your data.
BTW..i had a hard drive fail last year and it only took me a few hours to download all my data from crashplan.
I looked on crashplans site and can’t find the free version? Just the free trial. Can you post a link?
I found it. Thanks
