ElephantDrive offers an online backup or remote storage solution. I can name quite a few services out there that offer the same service, but Elephant Drive offers a few options that the others do not. Online backup makes sense if you think about it. I have been in the IT business for a long time and computer backup has always been an issue. Bottom line is people don’t do it, mainly because its a pain. Everything has been tried in the past, remote drive, usb keys, DVD, CD, etc. Pain in the but and I don’t know about you but I don’t like carrying a hard drive around and I’ve lost more USB keys then I’d like to mention. Oh yeah always keep one off-site in a safe spot, just in case. No one has time for that!! High speed Internet has really changed the backup game, and now backing up online is the way to go. Its dirt cheap, about $5mth with unlimited space. Only a little time consuming the first go around, since most of your files don’t change each day its automatic and seamless. Elephant drive, unlike some of the other services lets you archive your files and the ability to share files with friends/coworkers over the Internet. I use this feature a lot with my staff!! Its almost like cloud computing which I believe is the next big thing! Store nothing on your computer! If your concerned about your data, its safer with a trusted remote server then on your computer. I guarantee they have better network security then your software firewall(which most people don’t even use). Take a look at the free Elephant Drive trial and decide for yourself, get 2 months free, when you buy a year for $49.99. I have spent 10x that amount on backup software in the past.
