I can’t tell you how many of our customers at Memeo have emailed to tell us about their hard drive that crashed and how grateful they were that they had a backup already in place. You bring up an interesting point in your article that not only should people back up to an external source, but they should also use an online backup service. My company, Memeo, has a backup tool that will automatically backup your data to both an online storage site and an external hard drive, USB drive, iPod, FTP site, Network drive, etc. Also, if you are concerned about remembering to backup regularly our software has a unique feature that will instantaneously backup your files without any prompting. So the moment you save/modify/add a file it is backed up to any destination you prefer. www.memeo.com Hey Sharron, great article!
