Today data backup via software as a service (SaaS) is becoming the ultimate choice for businesses when it comes to protecting their valuable digital assets.

March 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Online Backup
Further to my previous post, one user asked me what is the difference between online backup and online storage services? I am sure there are others who have this question on their mind, and I thought its best to share it here.

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.

Success comes with focus. Like paid online backup.

I was reading this article on CNET by Michael Horowitz, which goes as “Everybody likes Mozy–except me”.
I couldn’t agree more with Michael on the ‘Big Sin’ part where he mentions:
“An obvious reason for making backups is to be protected from accidentally deleting files. If your fingers slip while typing, you can wipe out dozens of [...]
