The rage for computer backup seems to be online computer backup services. Many factors including Internet speed have influenced this backup choice.

There is a lot of pitfalls that you’d really need to know about though, regarding online computer backup. The trouble is that many of the Internet backup providers give you the impression that they are a one stop service.

One thing they normally don’t tell you is that you’re only backing up small subset of the files on your computer. An example of this is when they only back up your my documents folder. There is still a lot of data that is not being backed up with this type of service.

I have, for example, well over 300 gigabytes of data on my hard drive. This includes video, audio and several documents. That’s not good enough, I want everything to be backed up properly. Needless to say, using an online backup service could be a problem for me simply because it got too much to back up.

If you remember when Velcro first came available to the public, it came in the form of Velcro watchstrap. These straps often came attached to those awful digital watches that were all the rage for a few minutes. Digital watches still exist, but you don’t see them so often these days. People for some reason prefer analog timepieces and I have noticed that many vehicle manufacturers who once had digital instruments in their vehicles have gone back to using analog again.

But the Velcro watch straps remain – and rightly so. I don’t know how many watches I have lost over the years because of a malfunctioning watch strap. Either the buckle comes unstitched, or those little spring bars that attached to the sides of the watch gave in, and the whole watch disappeared forever.
