What People Are Saying
As we expected, many people have come to enjoy backup.com's ease of use and security. But don't take our word for it, view some of our testimonials and see for yourself.
I manage the office for a small business. I am not an IT expert, but I get the job done. When our financial server needed repairs I called our local PC repair shop. "Sure" they said, they needed to load some patches into the operating system. Sounded good to me.
When they were finished, the server was running faster than ever… and no wonder; seven years of our financial data was now gone. What happened? The service technician "reformatted" our hard disc. "Reformatted?" That's a fancy way of saying he erased everything!
It is a good thing that we use backup.com. backup.com restored our files back to our PC in minutes. backup.com's backup service is a tiny price to pay to have insurance on our data.

OK, so it was a Monday morning. My half-caf-decaf with a twist was not supposed to end up on my laptop's keyboard. The good news is that my IT guy said my PC might work again after it dried out for a few days. The bad news was that I had a a huge presentation to give that afternoon.
My laptop was gone to me, but my presentation was backed up with backup.com. I just borrowed a colleague's laptop and downloaded my presentation from backup.com. Would I have backed up my presentation by myself, I doubt it! Luckily, backup.com automatically backs up all of my data. backup.com saved the day!

I was initially skeptical about backing up online but gave it a try.
Yesterday, a virus caused my system to crash. Because of backup.com, I was able to retrieve all my data in the course of 15 minutes. I'm a believer now!!
The process was painless. My files were placed back where they were as if nothing had happened.
I used to backup using a variety of methods, but being human, I was not as diligent as I should have, and would have missed lots of important files.
Your service makes it painless, as I am never further away than last night's data!

I'm a field rep for a big company. One day, I get an email from our corporate IT department telling all field employees to make sure we are backing up our PCs. Thanks corporate! Great idea! Now, how about telling us how we are supposed to do that?
Luckily, a friend told me about backup.com. I signed up for the service, downloaded a small program that runs my backups, and now it runs automatically. I don't have to do a thing. I sent a note to all the people in the field about how easy it was to use backup.com. Now I feel better that my PC is backed up every day, and my corporate IT guy can tell his boss what a great job he did getting the field to backup!

Ugh!. After another 70 hour work week, I was almost done with my company's annual audit preparation. Wanting to get home on a Friday evening before it became Friday night, I mistakenly deleted… instead of saving a spreadsheet. I had been working on this sheet for over two months. Needless to say, I panicked. After I recovered my composure, I remembered that backup.com automatically backs up all my company's PCs. Maybe it had backed up this PC?
Of course…it did! backup.com backed up all our computers. Automatically, backup.com was saving a copy of my work, all day, every day! Next time my PC asks if I am sure, I'll think a little longer. But if I do make a mistake, backup.com is all the insurance I need. After all, I'm only human!

I couldn't wait to get my new PC. My old one had so many problems that it took almost a minute just to refresh a new web page. Oh, how my life would change as soon as my newly ordered PC arrived!
Then, like the disappointment the day after Christmas, my new PC's arrival didn't change my life after all. You see, my files were still stuck on my old PC. Without my files, my new PC was like a Ferrari with no gas in the tank!
Then I remembered that backup.com was backing up my files from my old PC. Could I just download my backup set back onto a new PC? Yes, I could… and I did! backup.com helped me migrate my files from my old PC to my new one. Backup and more. Now I know what they are talking about!

I have a really fast growing medical practice in Washington. Because I can barely use a PC, my partners elected me to be the office "IT guy!" The truth is, I would rather focus on the medicine, but somebody's got to do it.
We use digital X-rays and have lots of patient data in our office computers. Digital is great, but if you lose it, it is gone! I was making backup tapes and taking them home every day. What a pain!
With backup.com, all of our PCs back themselves up every day. Our data is safe in an offsite vault. And, I'm in compliance with HIPAA for patient data confidentiality. backup.com is automatic, its easy, and it lets me focus on my real job – sorry mamma!
