USA Today says online backup services a good way to pinch pennies on the web

July 16th, 2008 - Posted by Joe

A USA Today article encouraged readers to look toward the web based software applications as a way to save money during the current economic downturn. One of the highlighted software products was Mozy's online backup service.

Mozy offers 2GB of free online storage and ElephantDrive offers 1GB for free. While most people will run through those smaller amounts of storage pretty quickly, it does give consumers an option to try a fully functional version of these services with the option to upgrade if they need more storage. Additionally, most of the online backup services we reviewed offer some form of free trial (such as 14 days free from Carbonite).

Free storage is just one of the key that we have benefits of online backup that we have previously covered. You can learn more about online backup by visiting our guide to online backup services.
