How many of us actually backup our data? Hands up… go on? Did you put your hand up? are you lying?
IF your one of those thousands of people who know the importance of backup, but find that lazyness actually gets in the way, or that cost seems insane, then here are a few pointers for you.
This is a really handy online “usb” drive. It gives you one 1GB of online space where you can just upload stuff. For Free. No bells, no whistles, and no adds. I don’t know how they do it, either. Web-based.
Now this I found a little to difficult to belive. 25GB of free space. Yes, that’s right. I checked it twice. 25GB of space to dump stuff. It is, however very, very, very slow. This again, is web-based. It does have the small problem that there is a limit on what you can download. On the free version, it’s only 1GB.
Moxy is a free backup system for windows PC’s. Sorry, I know. I’ve yet to find one that will work on Linux, but the hunt goes on. It also doesn’t allow you to backup stuff over NFS file-shares, but then, like I said, it’s FREE. 2GB of data, regularly backed up (providing, of course, you leave your computer on, or that you start the backup manually). It’s easy enough to configure, and you can tell it to just take the files you need (like your important documents, or your code). While not a “true” backup system, it will prevent from accidental deletion and over-wrighting. This uses a piece of software that runs on your pc.
If you do decide to sign up for this one, please use my referance code (handily hidden in the above URL), or in the boxs that says “referer” put: UDZV9N. If you can refer 4 other people, you get an extra gig of space. It would really be handy!
This, again, is a web-pased file-holder. This has a difference as it allows you to define the elvel of access that other people have to your files, and allow you to share them to the world, or simply to a few close friends. There is no viewing/download limit on this that I can find, but the website is sparse of information.
I shall keep looking for one that works with linux!
enjoy.
