My computer is my life. I depend on it for this blog, all my photos of my children, the stories I write, and when I work from home 4 days a week for my day job in PR. So I can’t afford to NOT to have my computer backed up. I’ve lost files due to NOT backing up as well as precious photos of my children when my computers failed. It’s a horrible feeling to realize that your family photos are gone and you didn’t have a copy stored somewhere. Or that your home movies are gone. After researching and trying a lot of options, last year I moved to IDrive, at the recommendation of a blogger friend who knows his tech. Now, my files on my laptop and other devices are backed up online automatically (you just set what you want to be backed up) and I don’t even have to think about it. One less thing on my plate! IDrive is the Best Backup Solution for Your Computer and Devices
Note: I also use backups at home, but I’ve had my kids unplug things and sometimes the power fails. With IDrive, I don’t have to worry about any of that.

I need one of these for my computer. You never know when something might happen and this will be good to keep important things safe.
I really need to look into this. My laptop crashed and burned last month and luckily I had sent quite a bit to this desktop but I lost a ton. I was silly and didnt back up. I have never really wanted to trust in the ‘cloud’ I am afraid it can be hacked and has been . This sounds much better.
There is a cloud, but it’s very secure.
