About 3 months ago, my Mac did the impossible. It crashed. I don’t think my wife has forgiven me for some pictures of hers that are sitting on a crashed HD on the shelf. I had the idea in my head that Macs don’t do those things. I have since forgiven my iMac for doing that to me. She has been pretty good. About 4 months before the crash I stopped using Mozy.com for my automatic online backup. I did it for a few reasons. 
1. It felt like my data was going into some magical land that I could only imagine.
2. I couldn’t put a face or impression in my mind of where it was going.
3. Tonz of other competitors were sprucing up and they had some cool features.
Don’t get me wrong, I liked Mozy. They were my first love. People always remember their first loves don’t they?
Now I’m onto my next love and this one is here to stay. Her name is CrashPlan.com .
CrashPlan is pretty insane. You can actually see where there storage is. Pictures do a lot for me. At least I can beleive that those pics are legit. They have the yearly option which is what I like. They also let you have a free 30 days. Hopefully I can back up what I want before that time is up! Here’s the killer part that I think has it’s pros and cons. You can back up your files to a friends machine…. it’s much faster and you can retrieve your info faster if it ever crashed. While I don’t know that firends have enough space to be willing to “lend” the idea is still creative and provides an option to those who would actually do it.
Anyways don’t judge the pic I put up when it says 3.1 months remaining. That number changes all the time. At nights my upload speed is over 1000% faster on my settings.
