Peer-to-Peer Viral Backup: Cucku 2.0 Definitely Scores Points for Imagination

May 15, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Cucku didn’t invent “social backup,” but they are, to the best of my knowledge, the only backup provider that uses Skype’s peer-to-peer network to transfer your files to your chosen partner’s computer.  This is both original and clever. Partnering with Skype not only saves them building their own network, it brings them to the attention of Skype’s millions of users (more than 10 million of them … [Read more...]

A Backup Plan for Ricardo and Amigo Audio

January 3, 2009 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Backups—and the consequences of not backing up—have appeared twice in as many weeks on my favorite podcast, For Immediate Release. First my Podcast Asylum colleague and fellow FIR correspondent Lee Hopkins reported on a hard drive meltdown, and then frequent commenter Ricardo from Amigo Audio in Costa Rica called in with a request for tips on developing a backup plan. While I’m a little dismayed … [Read more...]

What Archives Really Are and Why You Might Need Them: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 09-12-08

September 12, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Back in July when I put out my call for guest bloggers on HARO, a kind PR professional referred me to Casdex. I was initially a bit skeptical about their digital archiving service, or rather, I expected my readers to be skeptical because of the price tag. $99/month for 5 GB? Compared to online backup services, that’s an outrageously high price. But archives are not the same thing as backups. You … [Read more...]

Backup with Room to Spare: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 07-25-08

July 26, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

When I put out my request for backup stories on HARO, two of the first respondents were eager to tell me about Spare Backup. Maria-Christina Zajac of Avalanche Strategic Communications offered to set up an interview with Spare Backup CEO Cery Perle, and Heather Schroeder at Corporate Advocates wrote to me about the new Spare Mobile service. Spare just announced last week its Spare Mobile service … [Read more...]

Putting the Humor Back in Backups: FileSlinger(TM) Backup Reminder 05-23-08

May 23, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

Is this the late-late-early show or the early-early-late show? Looking at my calendar and asking myself what the chances are that I'll manage to write a second column by Friday (when I have to get up at 4:30 AM to get ready for the BACN meeting at 7:30 AM), I decided just to post-date this and send it out now. Last week TechTarget sent me a link to an “e-zine.” I don't know why they called it … [Read more...]
