I knew this day would come! The day you go to use a really important file on your hard drive and you can't find it because it's been corrupted/deleted. Arghh!!
Arghh no more! JungleDisk to the rescue. Few clicks of a button, and the file is back in all its glory. I feel like Jack Bauer of the computer world. I SAVED A FILE! :-)
The real saviour here is JungleDisk. It runs quietly in background and backs up your files to an encrypted storage disk over an encrypted link. Later on, you can restore your files to any of the older versions of the file. It will actually backup various versions of the same file, so if you would like to restore a Nov 15th version because you know it is better than your Dec 1st, you can do it.
Even JungleDisk pricing is amazing. Just a few dollars a month for the privilege of having your important digital content backed up. If you are backing up a large amount of data, then you pay $0.15 per GB.
If you would like to backup really important files but don't want to pay for the privilege, I highly recommend using Windows Live Mesh 2011. With Live Mesh, you can backup up to 5 GB to an online disk. You can access data on this online disk even if you computer is turned off. The ability to access your data at any time comes in handy, for example when you are on vacation or when something bad has happened to your computer.
I am bringing up the issue of data backup as most people do not backup their data until they lose something really important. It is too late to backup your data AFTER you've lost something important. Do it while everything is still fine. It will take you only a few minutes to setup the backup process and they you are protected for life. We have too much information in digital-only form (emails, photos, documents) that it is essential to backup the whole thing. Windows Live Mesh and/or JungleDisk are perfect tools for the task.
