Gear Diary CrashPlan Backup Softwares Big Black Friday Discount photo

The only thing more of a pain in the tuckus (or as we say around the ol’ Gear Diary Facebook chatroom, a PITA) than setting up and maintaining a regular backup of your system is when you don’t do it, and suffer a catastrophic mess.   In my case, for example, I had been diligently backing up my system to a local external hard disk, when the external hard disk failed.  But before I could go in and get myself a new one, the very next morning my laptop hard disk failed, too!  What a friggin’ mess!  But you don’t want that to be you, so maybe CrashPlan is something you should consider, especially when they’re having a Black Friday sale:

CrashPlan backup software and online backup makes it easy to keep data safe, ensuring that you’re never caught without an up-to-date backup. CrashPlan allows you to automatically backup your data to the computers of your friends and to a secure, online backup destination. Also, CrashPlan is the only data backup software that is compatible with all operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris).

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.

    For less than $3 for a year for up to 10 computers with unlimited storage, this was a no-brainer. I’ll get it installed soon and see how it actually works, but for that price, even if it doesn’t work at all, I won’t be too upset!
