I have a younger brother who is a computer expert.  He makes his living as the System Administrator for several local companies.  Whenever I have a computer question, I shoot of an email to him, asking him for help.  We have set up a remote access so that he can access my computer here without him leaving his own house, which is really great because he can sometimes fix my problem(s) in a matter of minutes without me having to take my computer out of the house and without him having to leave his house!

Anyway, he has sent me an email advising me to sign up for a free Online Backup service that he is recommending to his clients.  I didn’t even know that such a thing existed!  I mean, I expected that there were online backup services, but I didn’t know that there were any free ones!

My brother told me to check out IDrive(http://www.idrive.com).  IDrive is a leading online backup service that offers online encrypted backups for free (up to 2GB.)  They also offer an online backup service with unlimited storage for $4.95 per month. He says that it is fast, secure, and easy to use.

PC World listed IDrive as one of the ’101 best freebies’.  So, I guess I will be checking them out!  Backing up my computer is a top priority for me!
