When my computer hard drive crashed, I nearly lost all of my precious data.
It took over $2000 and several hundred man hours before I had my files installed in my new system.
Why didn't I back up my files consistently? I'm like everyone else, I get busy and forget.
My, how that forgetfulness cost me.
So my search for a vendor who has a reliable online backup service began.
As usual, I turned to the internet.
There are so many vendors out there; I had to sort through several before I found some whose services I truly think I'll incorporate for not only my personal data storage needs, but those of my business as well.
Jungle Disk is an online backup provider that is truly affordable.
It offers a pay-as-you-go approach to backing up your data.
You only pay for what storage you actually use.
Their current charge is.
09 per GB uploaded to their server.
How is that different from other providers? Other providers usually have a tiered approach.
If you overreach one level, you have to move on to the next.
That can mean an increase in price.
That's the main difference.
Another feature Jungle Disk has that I like is its blanket use of a single license.
You don't have to pay for a license every time you want to use the backup service on more than one computer.
It's good for laptop and PC's alike.
For those of you who literally live on the water-whether in a schooner or a yacht, I found a pretty cool data backup company who is not only reliable, but is tailored specifically for the marine industry.

The database is always available anywhere in the world where there is internet.
In the event your hard drive is damaged by fire or water, Yacht Backup will send an encrypted recovery disk to you that only you can open with a personalized encryption key.
So if you're a seagoing webpreneur, this is a viable option for you.
Strong Backups offers a middle of the road approach for your online data storage needs.

The minimum data you can back up is 10 GB with a maximum of 50 GB.
They do offer 24/7 phone customer support and real-time live chat with technicians.
I especially like being able to speak to a real person as opposed to filling out a help ticket you don't know when would be addressed.
