An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure
Joel’s totally awesome blog Thoughts From An Empty Head had a great post that really showcases why we do the things we do here at Mozy:
Yep, for the fourth time in two years, and the third time in nine months, the computer has crashed.
Random videos … gone. Including my torrents of the latest series of Doctor Who. (That really made me cry, by the way.)
Vast music library … mostly gone. All of my iTunes stuff has been backed up, but all of the other cds that I’ve traded on La La (80+ cds) and the albums I’ve downloaded on Jamendo and my free album of Tori Amos’s Scarlet’s Walk (which I got for free in the Sony BMG settlement) are lost to the ether.
Thankfully, I’ve got an account over at Mozy Backup, so all of the truly important files and stuff (and my photos, which are also backed up on Flickr, thank God) have been backed up online.
So remember, kids, when disaster strikes, it’s too late to think about backup.
