Heres a few tips on avoiding loosing work/data and getting around having to use any Backup solution at all!
These days theres a web site for everything, you name it! Theres a term bandied about called SAAS which stands for Software as a Service which partly refers to modern hi-tech sites which offer the same kind of functionality as traditional Desktop programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel etc..
The ideas is you sign up with the site for free or a very small amount and you can create word documents online same as offline . The relevant point is that everything you create exists online so you can’t really loose it in the event of a computer failure. Backup is not necessary as the website will have its own backup policy. Theres also the added benefit of being able to access you documents wherever there is a browser and internet connection!
I personally use one or 2 of these websites including Google Docs for my word & Excel files and Zoho for my entire invoicing system. Theres sites out there to cover all areas though even including Photo Manipulation – see Photoshop Express!
Eventually I would hope to cut out the high cost of desktop software and not have anything to backup at all!
