How To Choose The Best Online Backup Provider
Tomorrow is the 1st day of February already. And if you are all aware, here at BlogDeManila, the 1st of the month is Blog Backup Day. I have written numerous articles already the importance of having a monthly backup, not only on your local hard disk but also using online backup as well.
Cloud computing is the latest buzz that resurfaced recently in the IT industry. It’s not new anymore. In reality, you’ve been using cloud computing for the past decades already. For example, when you are reading your emails such as Yahoo or GMail using a browser, that is called cloud computing. Same when you upload your pictures on Facebook.
With the introduction of virtual servers, not to mention the low cost of hardware acquisition, online backup using “cloud” has sprouted all over. Every now and then, new companies offering online backup keeps on popping up with better options and features. As a user, this is where the dilemma comes in. Which company truly offers the best solution?
Well, the right solution can be found on some some review sites that check regularly which among the key players in the market that can be considered as the top online backup provider. It’s is better to check them first before making your decision.
One particular feature that I’m looking for a review site is the real and genuine consumer reviews. I even personally check the website of the reviewer (if it’s available), just to make sure their comments and suggestions are not system generated but a honest to goodness review. After checking the credentials of the recommended company, I then ask feedback on some reputable webmaster’s forums about their experiences. My decisions is solely based on the facts that I gathered.
Putting our trust in a reputable company when it comes to backing up our data is must. You need to do your assignment in choosing the best provide. Don’t rely on Google search only. You have to sift through them by checking various review sites, and ask those who are using those services already.
And please, don’t ever forget to backup your blog!

I have used external hard drives as primary backup the past few years, and DVDs prior to that. However I’ve started using cloud storage more and more over the past year and I see me switching over to it completely pretty soon and maintaining local physical storage only for the most important data.

I couldn’t agree more, backup is very important. Currently I am using Zoolz.
They offer 4 GB free and it is very secure that all my data are stored on Amazon S3.
Now I can stream, listen to my music everywhere even when there is no Internet connection which is very cool.
I recommend checking it out: http://www.zoolz.com/
Cloud computing is something that is new to me. As to back up providers, just like Jean, I usually save it on external drives and discs. Other than that, I can’t think of anymore method.
Cloud computing is too new to me. I haven’t used it yet. Going to use it from now on.
Thanks for the tips. I have been wondering who i should go with, i started with dropbox, but there are some things I really don’t like about it.
Strange that the small business owner’s time so rarely features in these types of articles. That is the biggest improvement in my IT investment in cloud app’s by far.
Thanks for the info I have been using dropbox but it looks like I need to check the other ones out.
