Lately I’ve been having a few issues with my laptop that are starting to drive me crazy. A big issue, however, is the fact that my external hard drive is acting up as well so I really have no way of backing up my files and then getting myself back on track with a clean reinstall of windows. I’ve come across a company where you can do an Online Backup of your files but I’m unsure of how secure they currently are. I know I’m only going to need to do the back-up for maybe a half hour at most but this doesn’t discount the fact that I have client-based data on my laptop either. I’ve been using the desktop for quite some time just so I could avoid all of this but considering the fact that Sean and I are basically on each other’s nerve for the last few days, it’s safe to say I’ll be spending a little less time in the office.

So I’m poking around the idrive.com website where you can learn about how to get yourself 2gb of online storage for free or the option of unlimited storage for $4.95 a month. I’m not quite sure if I would require unlimited storage considering I’m over-loaded with use able hard drives it’s just too much effort at the moment to open my case, pop in a new hard-drive, format it, network it and then go through the process of transferring my laptop files over and then reinstalling windows, putting the files back on or figuring out what’s wrong with the external hard drive - it’s just a whole series of complicated trips that I need to take. Maybe I will wind up taking the free route with this program after-all. It couldn’t hurt…right?
