In response to my post yesterday on cloud backup solutions, Colin suggests another interesting solution:
Rather than pay $60 a year for cloud backup, I invested in the personal cloud
.
Connect this to your router and set your Mac or pc to backup automatically. Completely automated and way more storage.
I like the idea of this approach, and it definitely has its cost benefits over the long-run, especially on a per GB basis, but I would still worry about the improbable scenario of a fire or theft. If my computer and local hard drive were both stolen or damaged, everything would be gone for good. But it does look like a great product nonetheless. Thanks Colin.
