We all know that we’re supposed to back up our computers, but how many people actually do it? For years I had been using an external hard drive that automatically backed up my computer each night. The problem was it sat 1 foot away from my computer itself, so if we had a fire or my system got a virus, I would loose both my computer and my back up.

I’ve recently started using a service called Mozy which both encrypts and then backs up your hard drive to an online storage center. Instead of paying for how much storage you use, they have a straight forward $4.95/month service that backs up your information, all of it.
