Drop Box: For on the cloud backup

Backup is a word you always hear while working with computers. Everybody has important files we want to protect whether it be a confidential file from  a corporate work or the pictures of our families and friends.

But what does it mean to have a backup, many people are content with making a copy of the folder that they want to protect on the same Pc but speaking from experience that is not very safe. Your files will be gone from a single virus attack, theft, fire or some hard disk failure, and believe me its not a question whether your hard disk will fail but a question of when.

If your files are really important, don't backup on the same computer but on the internet using Dropbox.



from their site they say
