Technology WOES

Well, you would think that since I have been in this business for as long as I have and to know the importance of back up.....well this week has proved that you got to make sure your back up source is reliable as well. I have been backing up my family network to a wonderful WD My Book World Edition. Well, we had a power surge (I also have a great UPS system). Well, my NAS no longer powers up and ALL, I mean all, of my data is on that hard drive. WD was great in that they will replace my unit but if I open the unit to get my data off the hard drive, I void my warranty. UGH!!!!

So, if you have not looked at online back up, this may be an opportune time to check them out! A VA friend had recommended Carbonite and another friend had recommended Mozy's. Regardless of which you choose, the price is irrelevant when you consider the consequences...loss of E V E R Y T H I N G

I only wish I purchased the Buffalo 1TB LinkStation Pro Duo Network Hard Drive ( LS-W1.0TGL/R1 ). Now that is a great system

If you have any experience with online back up or mirroring hard drives, I would be curious to know what works for you
