My wife and I signed up for Mozy online backup data storage yesterday. She and I were joking Saturday about the house burning down or getting hit by a tornado or blowing up (like a house did in Edina, MN the other day) and using the insurance money to build the house we really want.

It was all pretty funny until my wife commented, “You know, it would put us both out of business if we lost our computers in a fire.”

My wife has been working on our taxes for our S Corp for the last several months, trying to get those straightened out and one. She has five clients she’s in the middle of designing WordPress websites for. I currently have seven clients I’m doing online marketing campaigns or link building campaigns for. And all my Quickbooks records of estimates, proposals, invoices and payments are all on my hard drive.

Any disaster that destroyed my house would be a business ending experience.

Yeah, I’ve got home insurance but that wouldn’t do squat to restore all the data lost. What about your computers? If your office burned to the ground, is all your data and digital records backed up somewhere offsite? And if you make backups on DVDs, how much time does that take you?

We found out that Mozy will back up both of our computers regularly with unlimited data storage for $10 a month. I spend more than that on coffee in a week. We figured we’d be idiots not to protect our businesses that way. And it’s automatic. Doesn’t cost me any of my precious time.

If you want to check out Mozy, here’s my affiliate link I signed up for when I signed up for Mozy. The cost to you is the same as if you went to their site through Google but I get a small commission. If you don’t have a problem with my getting a commission from Mozy, go ahead and just click the link to Mozy Online Backup Data Storage and protect your business.
