Why: Because photos are not the only important things on your computer. With online backup services, you do not have to buy any equipment; you just install software, which sits on secure servers and runs in the background, regularly updating a mirror image of all your files.I don't know why they selected SOS Online, but that's the choice as well at PC Magazine.
How: Go to sosonlinebackup.com. Pay $80 a year. Install the software. Sleep easy.
The Times seems to have the $80 price right, according to SOS. The company says that's enough for
$9.95 a month for five PCs and up to 50GB
SOS still offers more than other online backup providers: multiple PC coverage, external and network drive backup, a local backup app, and an excellent iPhone app. Its Live Protect that watches folders for file changes and backs up immediately. In sum, SOS delivers more than any other online backup service.
75,000 documents, 15,000 photos and 15,000 songs.
Whew! I've got 14,999 songs.
PC Magazine compares all the services and tells you what to look for here.
