We’re Bringing Syncing Back

By -

syncbackI got really serious about backups back in January after I lost some crucial data. It was a devastating experience that I did not want to have happen again.

I started writing my own scripts to copy my documents, pictures and other files to my server. This worked, but then I found SyncBack. SyncBack takes all the hassle out of backing up all of my important files. You can use it to copy files to another computer or an external hard drive. After syncing the files to my other computer, I use Mozy to upload my important files to an online server for safe keeping.

Obviously, if you do not have another computer to back up to (or even an external hard drive), Mozy is a great program to use to backup your files. You can use Mozy for free and get 2gb of storage which would be good starting point. I pay about $50 a year for unlimited storage on Mozy, but it is completely worth it. Along with my important files (including about 10gb of pictures), I have backed up my entire 80gb music collection. Better to be safe than sorry. Twitter me or E-mail me with any comments or questions.

I’d pay for it because I didn’t think there was any other way.  I then moved on to a free version of McAffee that my school gave me.  I probably used that for years before moving on to the next one; AVG. I loved AVG for a long time.  It was fairly quick, updated often but it was a little obtrusive.  I dealt with that though because the product was truly free.  About a year ago I AVG had a false positive that caused iTunes to get messed up.  I freaked out and uninstalled AVG and iTunes so nothing bad would happen to my music collection.  The next day a fix was issued but it was already too late for ...
