Geek Software of the Week: CrashPlan!

As you know, backing up your computer is extremely important! If you don’t backup your critical files, you will lose them, because all computer hardware will fail at some point! So, the question is, how do you do backups? You can backup to tape, or you can backup to another computer that you have locally, but that requires additional hardware, and it requires lot’s of effort to set up and administer, AND you have to remember to do it, or, in some way automate it with scripts.

Crashplan FREE On-Line Backup to the Cloud!

This week’s Geek Software of the Week will back up your data to “The Cloud,” automatically and, once installed, you’ll never have to deal with again… and, it’s FREE for individuals! How cool is that!?! Now, I realize that CrashPlan is an advertiser here on Dr. Bill – The Computer Curmudgeon, but I would not recommend them if I didn’t believe in them, and use them myself, and since it IS FREE for individuals, I am making it a Geek Software of the Week… because it’s just that cool! so, forget Mozy… forget Carbonite… CrashPlan works on the Mac, and on Linux, and on Windows… truly something we can all agree on! Get it, try it, you will be impressed!
