  5. Well i think with online backups.It differs alot in prices and the services offered.There are certain online backups that are expensive.Am currently using an online backup called safecopy backup for all my backups.And with safe copy,i now backup both my mac and win computer on one account with out paying for each computer.

  6. By upgrading Google Storage to 20 GB for $5/year, you can also use your Picasa, Google Docs and Gmail account as a online backup. Of course there is no automatic syncronization and desktop application.

  7. Backing you your files is so important. Finding the right software is just as important. JUst as important is finding the right registry cleaner for cleaning your pc
