Another plea for online backup. Dunwoody PC still believes that an online backup is the safest place for your data. We recommend Carbonite. They back up, automatically, all your personal data to the internet. Unlimited storage capacity for 1 computer, $54.95/year. Only two negatives, no video file backup and you can’t back up your external hard drive should you already have one. As my client Diego Montoya found out (name, sex and ethnicity changed to protect the formerly unprotected), not backing up stinks. We even tried the company that I recommend to restore the unrestore-able, and they didn’t have any luck bringing Diego’s data back. Kids pictures, videos, checkbook and tax data, all gone.
