It’s getting near year end, so I had to start looking for a way to store data for our personal use, our media network and for the corporate clients we serve.
I had begun my search about two days ago and had been a little put off by some of the solutions out there.
Tonite I came home to find an email alerting me to the services provided by Data Deposit Box, so I thought I’d look into the matter a bit more deeply, while writing a sponsored post for them.
You probably feel that all online data storage solutions are about equal, as I did, so I wanted to find out why the solutions provided by Data Deposit Box are different.
What are the Top 10 reasons they should be your online data storage provider ?
1) They encrypt your data as it’s transferred AND when it’s stored. I read the terms of service for several other potential providers and they clearly did not do this. Personally, I want my data encrypted. I’ll feel safer. Safer makes my sleep sweeter.
They also use 448 bit encryption. I’d bet your bank only uses 128 bit, so how safe must this be ?
2) You don’t have to be an IT expert to use their service. They purposely made it so that everyday, common, simple folks can use their service and be successful in securing and retrieving their data.
3) You never have to wonder when you last backed up your data. You don’t have to set a reminder. You don’t need another calendar notation.
They have a continuous process that makes new backups as you change you files. How cool is that. No more drag-n-drop. No more wondering. No more worries.
No more data loss because you weren’t scheduled to do a backup for 2 more days when your hard drive crashes.
4) They keep multiple versions of each file. I wondered what would happen if a file got corrupted and during the continuous update process I corrupted my data, so I searched their FAQ’s and found that they keep multiple versions, so I can revert back to an earlier version if I want to. That’s the first time I’ve found a online data storage service that does that.
5) They only backup the changes to files, not the whole file every time there’s a change. Think about some of your larger files, say 500 MB to 1 GB. Do you want to wait for that puppy to backup every time theres a small change, or would you be happier to just have only the changes backed up ? Yeah, me too.
6) You’ll be okay if you lose your internet connection. Their software remembers where it was and restarts the next time you’re online, if you happen to lose your connection during a backup. How likely is that to be a factor ? For me and my connection, probably a dang good thing they do this.
7) Most errors are human errors. If you delete a file, it’ll be there waiting on you. They will never delete a file, just because it’s not on your PC anymore. Some online data storage solutions will do this to try and save space. Not Data Deposit Box. Never.
Instead, they have a Clean-Up Wizard that you can use to reconsile your files and find out what you can safely delete.
You don’t get charged extra for multiple PC’s or multiple users. With most services you get to backup a single PC or a a single user. At Data Deposit Box, you can do multiple PC’s, multiple users, multiple networks, whatever. It’s your space and you get to use it like you want to.
9) You can access your data from anywhere. Some online storage solutions only let you access your data from the unit that you used to upload it. That kind of defeats the purpose of a backup, doesn’t it ? So the good folks at Data Deposit Box made your data available to you from wherever you are, on whatever machine you’re on. You’d have thought this would have gone without saying, wouldn’t you ? Me too, but it doesn’t always work this way. Be careful who you trust your data to.
10) Last, but maybe the most important is price, value to the customer. Some online data storage providers make you buy more space than you need. If you think you’ll need 100 MB of space, you better buy 105 MB or 110 MB, so the backup won’t fail when you go over your limit.
At data Deposit Box, you pay for what you use and not one kb more. If you use one GB, you pay $2. If you use 1.1 GB, you pay only $2.20. Pay for what you use, not for what makes them the most money.
I’ve found the online data storage solution I need and I hope this review has helped open your eyes to the solution provided by Data Deposit Box. They sponsored this post and they hope to help you, just like they did me and my network. If you’d like to see all the reviews of their service, just click here.
