Do you backup your computers?
You have a lot of valuable data on your notebook, home computer and office systems. If you do not have a backup strategy, you should get one. If you are simply backing up to drives that are within your office, what happens if you have a fire? That is why Online backup solutions have become prevelant.
Today I saw a unique software package that I wanted to share with you. It is called Cucku. OK, funny name, but a very cool idea.
What if you could backup to other computers that are either in your building or across the internet? What if those backups were secured in such a way that you could backup onto a buddy's computer and they couldn't access your data. Would you let your buddy backup to your system as well?
It's Social Networking to a whole new level. You can find out more information at http://www.cucku.com/
Below is information from their web site.
You know you need to backup. Remote or online backup is the only way to be sure you’re completely covered. Cucku Backup is the complete solution that lets friends and families help each other out with offsite backups.
It’s Easy
A few simple steps, and you’re up and running. Cucku then takes over, managing each backup task in the background automatically.
It’s Trustworthy
Your files are safely encrypted so your backup partners can’t access them or even see the filenames. Because you’re backing up to friends there’s no central datacenter that could get hacked, lose your files or go out of business.
It’s Free
No strings attached. No ads or pop-ups. Just access to Cucku, a secure, safe, dependable backup solution. Free for unlimited backup with one partner. Cucku Backup Pro supports multiple backup partners.
Protect Yourself
We all know we should back up our data but few of us actually do. 60% of all computer users have experienced some form of hard drive failure. Digital photos, music, email, financial statements, and other personal files on our computers are priceless and often irreplaceable. Hard drive failure, laptop theft, hackers or viruses can all erase your valuable data in a flash.
Remote backup with Cucku is your best protection.
The Cucku Advantage
With Cucku, you store copies of your files on friends’ or family members’ computers. The backup copy is safely offsite giving you the best protection if your PC is corrupted, damaged, lost or stolen.
Backup export allows you to start your remote backup quickly by sending an external hard drive, USB memory drive or DVD to your backup partner. You only need to send new and changed files over the Internet!
