The Marketing Agency Talk

How often have you experienced this yourself:

I worked all through the weekend. I got them all done. But just when I started to print … the computer crashed and I didn’t save.

I committed this crime many times. The last time was earlier this month.

Now, that would not be too traumatic IF a backup of the hard disk or even just the project itself was made. Creative folks - especially designers - knew the importance of backing up files continuously and not when the job is done. A black-out or a system crash will mean re-doing all the work that was laboriously done previously. Even when the work is re-created, the end result may somehow look different from the original. Designers knew the importance of backing up, so does everyone else. But somehow, doing a simple backup is not all that simple. Have you ever considered online backup?

I am very sure that you are online. Otherwise, you will not be reading this. I’m very certain anyone who goes online will know the importance to do a backup. Now, how about if this backup is FREE? Here is what I found:

1. A Free 2GB worth of backup
2. You can map your online drive (if you don’t know what this means, its ok, its a cool feature)
3. Versioning (keeps up to 30 versions of your backup data)
4. Auto backup or backup when you want to
5. Secure (encryption on transmission and storage)
6. Upgrade to unlimited backup for $4.95 a month

There are lots of other features. But fact of the matter is this - this is now so easy, you no longer have a valid excuse not to backup your data. Any designer, copywriter or experienced marketing person can tell you, having a back up of your project files will not only save your life, it is the responsible thing to do!
