Backup Your PC to the Internet
Backing up is a dull but essential chore. Authors have lost the entire manuscript of their latest book because they didn't bother/know-how-to/know-they-needed-to backup. Even seasoned programmers have known disaster either because they didn't have a recent enough backup or worse found they had been a glitch in the backup process that they hadn't noticed. Backups should be automatic and not rely on human intervention. This is one of the many advantages of Internet backup services, no requirement to insert a fresh tape/DVD, automatic backups can be programmed daily at midnight, the backups are always off premises.
Amazon provides the A3 backup service, but a techie friend recommended me the Mozy.com 2GB Totally Free Online Backup by Mozy. This is free but I will be upgrading to their paid service soon so I get even more space and extra features, by the way if you sign up to their Paid Service you can use the code "June" to get a 10% discount.
Solve your backup problems forever with Mozy.com and relieve yourself of one more chore and the guilt feeling when once again you don'y get round to it.

Is Mozy secure?
Yes. When you use Mozy, your files are encrypted on your computer using 448-bit Blowfish encryption and then transferred to the Mozy servers using 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. You have the option of using a Mozy key or your own private key to encrypt your data. Note that if you use your own private key, you must be very careful about not losing it because if you do, we won't be able to help. It's impossible for us to decrypt your data when you use your own key. Most users opt to use the Mozy key, but the choice is entirely yours.
I'm worried about privacy. How does Mozy respect my privacy?
The short answer is: We don't read your data or sell your information to anyone.
The long answer is in our privacy section.
