Do you want to back up your data ? I can help you with that. if you have some important data in your computer like documents, photos, music and videos etc.. you should back up these data regularly to avoid data loss due to hardware failure and system failure.. External storage device is an option to back up your data but you will have to spend some money for that. I can suggest some good free alternatives to that.. even if you have external drive you should back up your data at some online secure site so you can assess your data anywhere.
My First choice in this category is idrive (www.idrive.com/). it offers 2 gb free space. but after creating an account and simply referring idrive to your contacts you can get 10 gb extra free space. so you will get total 12 gb free space. It also offers free desktop client as well as explorer plugin so you can view your online storage right from your desktop.
My Second choice in this category is adrive (www.adrive.com/). it offers 50gb free space!! It does not provide desktop client in free account any more, but you can assess and upload your files through your internet browser. Another good option is mozy (mozy.com/). it also offers 2 gb free space. again you can expand your free space by referring it to your friends( 512 mb per one contact.). it also offers free desktop client. Humyo (humyo.com/) is another alternative for backing up your data. it offers 10 gb free space. 5 gb for your documents and 5 gb for your media files. they provide desktop client only for limited period of time in free account but still you can upload and assess your data using their site for free. Microsoft is providing 25 gb free space for online storage through Skydrive. You can sign up for that here (skydrive.live.com). Boxstr ( boxstr.com/) is also a good option for online back up. they provide 5 gb free storage. they provide desktop client for free but you can upload only 50mb/day using their desktop client in free account.
Here are few more options suggested by site visitors. Dropbox (www.getdropbox.com/) provides 2 gb free space for backing up and sharing your files. Dropbox will work similar to any other folder of your computer. Simply install dropbox, drag and drop files/folders to Dropbox, you want to backup, share or sync with other computer. Myotherdrive (www.myotherdrive.com/) is one more option which provides 2 gb free space. It also provides free desktop client. Syncplicity (www.syncplicity.com/) is yet another option for online backup. It provides 2 gb free space and you can add 1 gb of free space per referral up to 3 gb so that way you can get 5 gb free space with it. You will also get free desktop client.
All of the above sites are good options for your data back up. depending upon your needs you can select any of above. if you want unlimited online storage you can upgrade your account. For more information click on the links and visit their sites, you will get more idea their. you will have to sign up to get your free space in all of the above sites. but you will not need to give your credit card information in any of above sites. your name , E mail address and username that's all they need. so start backing up your data..
