I felt like mentioning this cause maybe some Folks aren't realizing it.
People might hear about Clouds Services & off-premise data storage to most average users/consumers would mean little, if anything.
Some people have more than 1 drive or partition in their machine & may or may not know why or what to do w/ it, in terms of data storage & or backing up files.
Some people have external drives & maybe have auto functions doing sensible things @ regular intervals.
Notice I said some people...
Almost all people have data, files, documents, photos, images, that are important to them.
Well, here's a safety net that may not occur to everyone though, it is available to everyone... this one is a bit new on the scene, needs no hardware and doesn't care if
your gear does fail, blows up or suffers any catastrophic event... your data
will, still, exist. Plus, bonus, it is FREE and offers, if I recall correctly, 250Gigs of storage.
SkyDrive. Save or copy stuff to SkyDrive. Heck, I have Data drives in my PC and an External drive and I, still, put certain, high-priority material in SkyDrive.
Just thought maybe deserved a mention/reminder.
Cheers,
Drew
