Redbird

Redbird doesn’t have that many files to keep backed up but the few that we do have are precious. I couldn’t begin to imagine what business would be like if I lost Sage or my Outlook contacts or my invoices.

What we do to ensure backup files is:

1. Email them to our Gmail account
2. Back them up on our second PC
3. Back them up on a 500GB disk drive

About this time last year I looked at Online backup.  2 companies told me that an engineer would have to call to install the software and thereafter it would be online. All companies wanted at least €50 per month. Sure I only have a few Gigabytes!

This morning, I read The Tuesday Push, 5 minutes later, I’d signed up to PutPlace with a trial account, downloaded and installed software and started my first backup.  For others it might be par-for-the-course but for me (I’m a builder!) it had the Wow factor.  How can something that’s caused me a headache for so long suddenly be so easy!

Well done PutPlace!  I’m converted!

Now, anyone wanna buy a 500Gb Disk?  One careful owner. Only crashed once!!
