As you know, "We Relieve Technology Stress." Call us today at 408.732.8500 for educated, non-scripted tech support.

You have insurance for your car, your residence, and your health - why not have some for your computer? I know, I know. It's such a pain in the asparagus to backup your data. It's not sexy, it's not fun, and it's sure not easy. Wait - it IS easy! Imagine losing all your business information from your notebook by having it stolen. What if someone comes into your office, steals your server, all the backup tapes, the backup drive and all the workstations. What now? How 'bout you awake to a fire and you have to get out of the house - now! Are you going to unplug your desktop computer in your haste? Probably not. The best way, in my mind, is to backup online. Click on any of the links in this email to take you directly to a service that - for less than a movie ticket - will backup your hard drive's data, photos, videos, and music. If you only have a small amount of data, it's free. The data is heavily encrypted and uses the same security they use at banks. As long as you keep your user name and password away from prying eyes, your data is safe. It's saved many of my clients data in some bad situations!! Did you know the average life span of a hard drive is only 3-5 years? I'm talking Windows PC and Mac users. BTW, this service runs on both the Windows (2000, XP and Vista) and Mac OSX (10.4 and above) platforms. Mozy for Mac is officially released. Check out the rest of my Partners on my site.
