Comments on: Hurricane drives interest in online backups

Online backup firms report a post-Katrina increase in sales--and data being moved to new servers away from the flood zone.

Online Backup Critical Thinking

While Online backup could be a really important object lesson in keeping things safe, but as I read this article it struck me as very strange that a company seeking to keep data safe would be located in California where wild fires, earthquakes, potentials for sunami's, and any other given natural disasters could easily happen in California. Why not use places such as Utah or Colorado where there are much fewer natural disasters that would be storage risks. It is just a thought to consider.

Online Backup - state of the art method to store files

Hi!

Natural desasters are terrible and devastate whole countrylines. While distinguishing from damages done to humans and their families to economic consequences (e.g. companies lost their sensitive customer files), it's important to always have access to your files and in serious cases to restore them. I wasn't quite convinced till my hard disc crashed that I should do backing up my files, but now I do.

I read an interesting article on this page:
