You’re sick of hearing it from me. I don’t care.
Back it up. Back it up. Back it up.
- When the Cat Locks You Out, Do You Have a Backup Plan? *note: I now use Carbonite, not Mozy
Today, though, I’m not talking about your blog or your computer — I’m talking about your social media accounts!
A tool that I’ve been using for a while just got a nifty upgrade, and I think it could be something for many of you to check out. Backupify is free for three personal accounts, and you can upgrade to back up more for a pretty reasonable monthly fee.
And it covers a TON of tools:
Plus, it backs up on Amazon’s S3 server, which is super safe.
I have an older account, which means I was grandfathered into older pricing (free, but I get 5 accounts and 2GB of space). So I back up: my work email (on Google apps), my personal email (gmail), Twitter, Facebook and Flickr.
I’ve never had to access the backup, and I hope I never will. I still have redundant files — my original photos, etc. But it’s nice to know that someone else is watching my back.
About Katy
I just signed up for the free account and am backing up my Gmail, Picasa and Facebook. I’ll reconsider other things later. See, I listen to my girl…
I hadn’t heard of Backupify before, but it sounds like a great idea. I just signed up for the free account. Thanks!
Sounds like a great idea! I didn’t even know that this was possible. Facebook and my blog are pretty much the only things I would really miss if they went away.
Funny that just after reading this, my laptop crashed.
It’s up and running again now, after quite a bit of panic, but I’m glad I have a blog backup program, I need to be more diligent about my computer backup program, and tomorrow I’m going to use Backupify. Thanks, Katy.
once again thanks for an awesome tool, going to check it out now!
