Let’s
face it, no one likes to lose their data and we all should
make regular back ups of everything we do.
But
hand on heart, do you back up as often as you should?
What
would happen if your laptop got stolen with your writing on
it or your PC crashed at home and you couldn’t retrieve
the data on it?
You
would be in real trouble and that’s why its important
to consider various solutions around for saving your data.
Off-site
back up is a solution worth looking at. You connect your computer
to the internet and transfer all your data to another system
so that if the worst should happen, there’s always a
copy of your work available.
One company
offering home users off site back up at reasonable cost is DataFort
which offers PCFort.
For £28.06
(inc VAT) a year you can store up to 1 gigbyte of data on their
servers. If you need more space you can upgrade. Only downside
is that you pay for accounts yearly in advance, but there is
a month free trial of the service.
Overall
it looks a pretty good service and one that is worth investigating
for anyone who values their data.
