Free Online Backup

Hello

Just found this! If you want like me to backup your budget spreadsheets and other things on your computer!! there is a new program out called BuddyBackup

www.buddybackup.com - you can go here and download it for free and it enables you to backup a copy of your data off your pc to a friends or family's PC. So if you PC crash's there will be a copy on your friends PC, also for you geeks out there you data is encrypted on your freidns PC so you canna see there data and they can't see your, just seems like you lend each other hard disk space.....

Gonna try it now :T

  • Have looked into it, there is no inital period. It is free for as long as you want it, you can pay £10 at any time to get more buddies and backup more data but they let you have 5GB and 3 buddies which is enough for me!

    No spam here thanks :T
  • Tried it! it works! :j

    I use A free email service to store stuff on check out https://www.30Gigs.com I have been using it for a year with no problems :A
    As the name sugests you get a lot of storage
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.
  • Yeah i could but the simple answer it that it is automated so if i change any file i am backing up it is automatically sent once it has changed. I don't fancy wanting to send a few hundred docs every week when i change all my documents and pictures etc.

    It is also encrypted so it's safe.
