Why is Social Backup better than Online Backup?
You've reached the decision that you need to backup your data offsite. You know that the best local backup in the world won't leave you fully protected. Why should you use Social Backup rather than online backup?
Be a Backup Hero
Around 50% of people don't back up at all. You know that your brother is filling his laptop with digital photos and has no idea how vulnerable they are. With Social Backup you can lend a hand and know that your brother's photos are safe. Our customers reach out to friends and family and help protect their data at the same time as securing their own irreplaceable files. Being a backup hero is a great feeling. Anything else is anti-social backup.
Less waiting...
Your Internet connection is probably much slower at uploading files than it is at downloading them. If you're not sure, a quick speed test will show you the difference. With online backup you're stuck with this speed limit and it can take weeks or even months to send your files. Social Backup means that you can backup and restore directly (on a local network connection or WiFi) when speed is important, and use the Internet for changed and new files.
Trust a friend, not the cloud
AOL recently shut down XDrive. Microsoft has announced that OneCare will be withdrawn this year. Even if your online backup provider is reliable you'll still lose access to your files if you stop paying. With Social Backup your files are safe with a trusted friend or family member. You can also backup to a second PC that you own.
