Backup

The information on your computer is precious and is painful to replace if it is lost. Your photos, music, financial information, etc. are valuable to you and can be easily lost. The best backup solution is to back up on-line (or to the "cloud"). The solution you need depends on how much space you need.

Crash Plan

Crash Plan offers unlimited backup space for your computer and external hard drives. The Crash Plan + product runs about $3 per month for unlimited backup of your computer (a $6 per month backup for all of your computers is avalable). This is recommended if you have a large amount of pictures and music files that take up a lot of space.
