My hunt for a Data storage has been an interesting one – I’ve found sleazy looking websites, places that are confusing as anything trying to find what exactly one needs, the free, and finally coming to the really expensive. What I’ve learned is acquiring some form of Online Data Storage is just like any kind of technology purchase, one must shop around, taking everything in and weighing out the benefits and negative aspects of each service or product. For me, the whole having a website and all that with GoDaddy was really more than what I need, plus it didn’t really allow me to interact with people in the easiest fashion, sure if I were some code guru that might be different, but I’m not. I was so excited when I found out about the external drive, I was able to save all of my information with little hassle and saved a ton of money because I didn’t go to one of those crazy scam sites that claim that they have the best data recovery . The only problem that I have is that the gigabytes are not ample enough for what I need it for. I actually will have to purchase a 50GB external drive that is about twenty dollars more than the one I purchased previously . I honestly think that I will be switching over to a Mac once I get this entire situation figured and evened out .
I thought of using Apple’s Mac service as my Data Backup Services for some time now but I honestly have not had time to do anything besides work on what I have right now . It is also a very expensive computer . So ridiculously expensive that it is hard to consider. One day when I was picking up my mail I got a free trial for a Mac, I was so excited, this way I could see if I really should spend all that money . It seems really expensive for $100 for 10 gigs of space, I have a ton of information as well as videos and pictures and a gallery to put on the external drive . But with this Mac I can use all the pictures in the external drive to create a photo gallery to show my family and friends, which would be amazing because I live so far away . What is so great about this program is that I can basically back up my information from anywhere I would like to with the Back to My Mac accessory that comes with the back up services . If I had the capability (which I don’t) I could create another website on my computer for all the world to see . I think I am love with this computer, honestly I think it is what I need, because I take a ton of pictures, as I go on a lot of vacations for my job as a photographer, and what is great about the gallery is that people from all over can look into it and even add their own pictures, although they will have to understand that once they add them, they are mine to keep and do whatever I want with them . Say I went on a vacation to Alaska, If I went with some other people and they took pictures as well, they can add their pictures to my gallery. This whole easy sharing of information that Mac brings is exactly what I was looking for in a Online Data Storage.
This is the second day in my journey to find a new Disaster Recovery– I am very frugal so I needed to check out all of my options, figuring out which one would be the best for what I am looking for in a Emergency Backup ! I made a list of everything that I needed to get done and my first step is GoDaddy .The only reason I did this was because their ads are honestly hilarious, if I hadn’t seen them I would have never gone to such a horrible website to pull my business together .
