Trial Offer Guide

We’ve long sung the praises of the Mozy backup service. While we’re not going to stop doing so, heck it’s tough to beat unlimited online backup space for less than $5 a month.

It’s important to be clear, we don’t believe there is any issue with the Mozy Service. But since we’re backing up data to protect against loss of vital business documents or priceless family images. We might as well take the process to the correct level of safety and have two offsite backups.

Enter ElephantDrive a service very much like Mozy. ElephantDrive provides a downloadable application which automates the process of backing up files from your computer. Elephant drive, as the name implies, also provides unlimited space for the home or business user. The monthly subscription of $4.95 provides an equally impressive value to the Mozy @Home offering.

Often even if we had the time to interview these people, do you really want them to come into your home? What if they are just looking to ‘case’ your house and learn your schedule. I shudder to think how close many of us have come to disaster.
