My data is safe, is yours?


by: Dewayne Castillo

Most people take action immediately after a disaster to try and prevent it from happening again. You hear it time and time again. After a burglary in the home someone decides to get a home monitoring service, or after someone is injured they might sign up with Aflac to help them financially from future injuries. It is one of the worst feelings to tell someone that their data is not recoverable, much less being the one to hear that. Hard drives today are bigger than ever. More pictures, more music, and more files can be devastating to a family if a backup solution is not in place.

I use to constantly worry about my hard drive crashing, and I knew about the saying “it’s not if, but when”. After trying many solutions Mozy Backup has become my favorite to use and recommend to my clients. Mozy is a software program that downloads and installs just a few minutes then backs up all of your files online to a secure location.

In other brands of software I found the most common drawback was that the software slowed down the computer too much after installation. This was especially important to me because I am always multitasking with everything open all the time. With Mozy I didn’t notice any performance issues with my PC even while running multiple browsers, surveillance cameras, and photo editing programs. Mozy really is a set it and forget it style program. What makes it fast is that it backs up your files incrementally which means that after the initial full backup Mozy only backs up new and changed files. After your files are backed up online you can access and download them from any computer anywhere with your login.

Recovering data can be costly. Some companies will charge a $200.00+ non-refundable deposit just to see if they can access your information on the hard drive. Once the data can be accessed you usually have to pay for the amount of data recovered. Sometimes that recovery cost can be thousands of dollars. Other times cost is not the issue at all. This is the worst because you may be out $200.00 and have a dead drive that is unrecoverable. The cost of Mozy is only $4.95 a month (about as much as a drink at Starbucks). Wouldn’t you sleep easier knowing your family’s pictures and your financial documents are safe?  Take action before disaster hits and download Mozy Home Backup today.

Hello.  My name is Dewayne Castillo and I am a co-owner of MyBizNow.com which I started over 10 years ago, and founder of San Tan Leads (www.SanTanLeads.com started in June of 2008). I am a tech enthusiast and an artist, strange combination maybe, but it works.  I am however, not a writer. If grammar is your thing you will surely be disappointed. I will not be one to make my high school English teacher proud, but I did get a fine art scholarship to the University of Arizona. That's gotta count for something. What you will find here are simply tips, suggestions and my professional opinion to help you navigate through the world of technology (sometimes other stuff too).  I hope you enjoy my posts and please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have.
