Thank god for online backup!

Dec 18, 2009

Just to unashamedly praise the service I have used for some time now http://www.onlinestoragesolution.com it have really really really saved my ass this time...

I just lost the external disk I keep all my pictures on... Physical disk error... Nothing left, nothing to salvage (I have worked in a company that salvage data for a living, so I know when there is nothing left to do by normal means)...

And I am just so happy about 3 months ago I subscribed to that service and had my system do automatic backup of all my photos to this service... I mean, the mp3s and movies and stuff I had one there can be replaced (just a matter of time and work) but my photos... Now I have just bought a new ext. disk, and started a full restore, seeing all my photos, holiday memories, irreplaceable stuff coming back is just... Priceless...

So guys... if you do not already... TAKE BACKUP it really saves lives...
