How much would you be willing to pay for your data?

I came across this posting on Reddit the other day.   I could go on about the value of a good back up, and laptop encryption, but I think that this letter says it all, 

World Back Up Day!

You can never have enough reminders to back up your data, so yet another reminder, it's World Back Up Day!  Why World Back Up Day? Here it is straight from their site, 

"You might think your computer, phone or tablet is pretty reliable, but in reality, it's not. Everything (yes, everything) fails, and once it does, all the important information you've stored on that device can be destroyed. In fact, it's not a question of if a piece of technology will fail - it's when.

More than 60 million computers will fail worldwide in 2013. Only 1 in 4 people back up their information regularly - that's roughly 45 million times this year where files will be lost forever. Even worse - 113 cell phones are lost or stolen every minute in the United States alone. That's hundreds of photos, conversations, calendars and more, gone in an instant.

It's important to be ready. That's why we created World Backup Day - to show you how to prepare for the inevitable. We'll help you to devise a plan to store your precious memories and information in a safe location. Because there's nothing worse than losing something important to you."

As discussed in my previous blog posts, I suggest iDrive for a remote back up system.   I use it myself and have been very happy with the results.   

Back it up!
