If you’re worried about losing your data, you should be. The fact is that computer hardware dies all the time. Even if you back up your files locally, you’re at risk in the event of a catastrophe or theft. You’re really best off backing up off site.
That’s exactly what online backup service Dripbit does. Their system automatically takes all of your precious data, and sends it to their massive storage infrastructure in the cloud. Files are automatically secured with military-grade encryption.
Dripbit can back up files from Windows or Mac computers, and provides remote access to files via your web browser, iOS or Android apps. It even stores up to 30 past revisions of your documents so you can go back in time to recover an earlier version of a file you thought you lost.
We’ve got a great deal on Dripbit going on in the Technabob Shop right now. For just $54.99(USD), you’ll get LIFETIME backups of up to 1TB of data, and can connect up to five computers to your account. That’s a savings of 88% off the regular price.
