Damn… my harddrive crashed…

Actually it didn’t, but I would be absolutely lost if it did. Can you imagine how you would feel if you lost everything you have saved on your computer?
I can’t imagine losing everything…. I have over 60 Gigs of family photos alone. Not to mention my internet marketing material, personal documents, my sites, ftp backups, etc, etc, and etc.
It would take months to get back up and running again and to be honest I’m really not interested in dealing with it.
I started thinking about using an online backup service to backup all my files to an offsite location after Lynn over at ClickNewz recommended this one. At first I thought I would just get a new hard drive to put all my files on so that if one hard drive crashes I would still have the other.
This seemed like a great idea, but what happens if we have a flood or fire? I would still lose everything. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe a second hard drive is not such a good idea. So I decided to get an online backup service and so that all my files are backed up automatically and I don’t need to worry about it.
I decided this about a month or so ago and I still haven’t done anything to backup my files. I’m a disaster waiting to happen. I actually forgot about it until today when Adomas over at IncomeHero posted that his computer crashed and he has to start his project all over again from scratch, ouch.
After reading this and the fact that I can get unlimited online backup for $4.95 a month, I figured it’s well worth the investment.
If you can’t afford to lose your files, I highly recommend getting this service for $4.95 a month, I know I will be.

I need to look into this. My laptop crashed in June and I lost *almost* everything. Photo’s, tons of e-book/articles/programs… it was a *disaster.*
I now have a backup drive, but it would be good to have an online back up service too. Thanks for the reminder!

@Learning Geek:
You’re welcome! Yeah for the sake of $4.95 a month you can have piece of mind that your photos and stuff are safe.
Well worth it, IMO.
