A Virtual Safe For Your Most Important Documents, Information, and Memories #NortonBackup

My laptop is the command center of my life. I use it for research, shopping, education, communication, and most importantly, to work. I also have years of photos and videos of my family, all our precious memories, stored on my computer, so it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that my computer crashing or being attacked by a virus would be utterly devastating. Even something simple like my children deleting files accidentally can cause a major inconvenience (and they’ve done this), so it’s important for me to have a backup for all my files and important information that I never have to worry about.

Norton™ Online Backup is a personal cloud service that automatically and securely backs up your irreplaceable digital photos and videos, music, financial information, and other important stuff from up to five family computers (Windows or Macs). Everything is stored on secure online data centers (it’s all encrypted), and if you need to, you can quickly and easily restore it all, so years of work on your blog, years of photos of your babies, and anything else that is incredibly valuable or precious to you isn’t gone forever.

I’ve had a few scares before. My sons have altered and deleted files on my computer, and I wasn’t able to recover them. Then there was the day where all the posts on my blog just disappeared. I had no idea what to do. Luckily my host kept sporadic backups, and I was able to somewhat restore my site again, but since the backup was only performed biweekly, I lost about two weeks of work. It woke me up to the benefits of having all my most important work, information, and files stored elsewhere– not solely on my computer or site.

With Norton™ Online Backup, you no longer have to worry about:

• you computer crashing or being damaged
• accidentally deleting an important file
• losing everything to a virus attack
• your computer being stolen

and as the years pass and your needs grow, you can always add to your storage. You can transfer your files between different computers (PC and your Macintosh are interchangeable) and even use a keyword search to find exactly which files you are looking for. Older versions of files backed up in the last 90 days are also saved in case you need to restore older files, and it only updates new files and changes, so no wasted space in your storage. It works in the background, so it doesn’t interrupt your time, and compresses files first to be speedier and more space saving.

Norton™ Online Backup provides a sense of security…you never have to worry about losing any of your work, or your memories, or your important information. Ever. The days of storing zillions of little USB drives and memory cards, and worrying about losing everything while you sleep or go on vacation? Over.
