A Review of Online Backup Services
You’re sitting at your desk working, then the Windows update pops up to inform you that there are critical updates, you click ok to proceed with the updates. Now your computer needs to restart to finish the update. It restarts again.
Your computer finally starts, only to go into some sort of recovery. After about 10 mins your computer boots up and you see your desktop. Now you try to resume what you were working on before all this happened.
You try looking for some of your files on the hard-drive, but you are not finding them. Panic sets in. You suddenly realize you may have lost everything that was stored on your hard-drive.
Well this scenario happened to me but everything was not a total loss. I do have external hard-drives and just 2 months before I started an online backup subscription. Talk about relief. That’s to say I was still was not a little nervous.
I made the decision to restore back to factory new. The true test of your online service is when you have to restore your files. It is nice to have an easy backup procedure, but you need to be able to restore your files even easier.
When the restore process was finally finished, I installed Mozy and started to recovery my files. The process took a day or so because I had a lot to restore. When it was finished I had everything back. What a life saver.
