Back Up Your Cloud

As a big proponent of cloud based computing, the one issue has always been backing up. While I have great trust in massive cloud organizations, recent mis-steps by Flicr and Google have me looking for ways to back up data.

Most secure is to run a desktop email client for your cloud email, enabling pop based settings, then including this in your desktop/laptop backup strategies.

A more simple method is using one of the many cloud-based backup services. Of the 3 I took a closer look at, I'm going to use Backupify.

Backupify quietly backs up many of your cloud based activities, whatever you choose, for free or as a paid service. I've started with the freebie, and will report if there are any issues.
