I am a techie for most of the day, and I can tell you first hand the REAL pain that I have seen when people lose their data. There have long been some PC backup options out there, but today online backup startup Mozy released an automated backup solution for the Mac! Mac users worldwide rejoice!

Of course, any good service costs money, but this one is pretty good with an UNLIMITED plan for only $4.95/mo. I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t pay that to retrieve their pictures/video’s/documents/etc! Think of all that family history LOST!

At the end of last year I lost a hard drive with the first 6 years of our marriage on it… all the pictures… all the video’s… gone. I thought that because I was a techie, I could get them off… well, there was no retrieving this failure… learn from my example!

I highly recommend that you find a backup solution of some type of you don’t have one yet. They also offer the same for PC’s of course!
