One user of Vaulten Online Backup had asked me which data package he should subscribe to. With further discussions, it came to light that he had more than 150GB of data on his PC… mainly a lot of TV shows that he had recorded and kept. Effectively, for his emails and business documents he required only 5GB. I advised him to take up a 5GB plan and keep a local backup of his TV shows.

I would say this applies to everyone who is looking for an online backup solution. You need to ask yourself on how valuable your digital assets are, and then ensure the most valuables are stored in the safest location.

With Vaulten you can always manage this from your computer by clicking the ‘Backup’ button, from where you can select the files you want to backup and leave the ones you do not wish to backup. Remember when you backup your files to any provider including Vaulten; you not only have to look into the space you wish to utilize, but also the bandwidth usage. To backup 150GB of space you may need weeks, depending on your internet speed and watch out if you are paying for additional GB usage to your internet provider. 

After all it only makes sense to pay for securing your files if it’s valuable to you.
