As you know I take many photos on a daily basis. I recently purchased an external hard drive to back up my data files. But then I began to think, what if my home catches fire, since my computer and external hard drive are connected to each other in the same room I would lose all of my files, that would be tragic. I have years worth of photographic memories that could be all gone in an instant.

This of course would not happen if I was using an online backup service. I can get started right away with a free IDrive-E account of 2GB and so can you. You can protect your treasured photos, MP3s and financial documents. You can even store videos which is great because now that I am making videos for the web I need to store many raw files of footage. The IDrive-E can be mapped directly to your PC so you can drag and drop files directly to the online drive.

And if you are a small business looking to protect your files off site a recent enhancement allows you to create and manage multiple accounts for your small business. It just makes sense to be protected.
