Unquestionably, our files, photos, music and video are now amongst the most important things in our lives.  How would we cope if we lost all our personal data and had to start again?  Unfortunately many people discover what such a devastating loss is like on a regular basis.

Just the other day a customers daughter lost all her GCSE course work.  Some was recovered from her school but much of it had to redone.  Not a pleasant experience at all.

Backing up critical data used to be very inconvenient requiring specialist software and the discipline to backup daily, weekly or monthly as required.  Whilst an effective back up routine undoubtedly has its place for most it is confusing and complex.  What is needed is a set and forget solution.

Happily, these are now readily and cheaply available.  Options include Carboninte, Mozy and my personal favourite Livedrive (http://bit.ly/YXBAmQ0) with prices starting from around £3.00 per month.

With such a solution a small piece of software is installed on your computer and files automatically backed up securely online.  Once the software is up and running there is nothing further to do, although, it is best to check occasionally that all is ok by logging into the relevant account.

Should you lose your data then it can easily be recovered leaving you stress free.  Don’t wait to find out what a critical data loss feels like set up a robust backup solution today.

For anyone that elects to use the Livedrive service via this link http://bit.ly/YXBAmQ0 I offer a free setup service (within 10 miles of Sturminster Marshall) so you can be confident everything is working as it should do.
