Backing up your important files with a ‘Cloud’ service is a great idea, but where do you start?
All the basic free services like Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive might be good to store some of your files, but what about the entire contents of your computer, which could be terabytes of data?
Well you will need to spend some money, but it’s surprisingly affordable. Here are a few options.
Canbonite – Backup everything on your computer (including external hard drives) and your entire operating system – USD$100 (Annually for 1 computer)
Acronis True Image Cloud – Backup everything on your computer (including external hard drives) and your entire operating system – AUS$129 (Annually for 1 computer and 3 mobile devices)
CrashPlan – Backup everything on your computer including your operating system to the Cloud or a Hard Drive – AUS$70 (Annually for 1 computer)
Free Alternatives? (use at your own risk)
Consider using a reputable company that’s likely to still be around in the coming years.
