The Ultimate Backup Of Your Business And Life

• “ … A couple of months or even weeks more, and I might not have been here anymore. That’s another kind of emergency, wouldn’t you agree?
  
  It made me make another back up list (↑).
  
  Of running accounts, that have to be closed in case of fatal accidents.
  Like PayPal, subscriptions, autoresponders, hosting and so on.
  
  And it made me think what to do with all of my websites running.
  The obvious solution is to sell them, but who’s going to do that?
  Fortunately I’ve found someone who’s willing to do that, so there’s another backup list of sites to sell.
  
  That’s my final backup.
  Do you have one?”

Now, I have written about the importance of backing up your business data as well in the past.

Today I can show you three different services which especially address the second issue, “What if something happens to me?”



As I am outside the USA I most likely would trust the Swiss company DataInherit. In general the Swiss have a good reputation in dealing with international clients and protecting them from governments running wild. (Have you ever heard that the FTC is shutting someone down and drags files, computers, …, everything out of the home and office?)

Besides VitalLock is the newest player in this market with the added twist of personal, secure messaging. They are still in beta, and while the Facebook part of it might confuse some folks, it is attractive for others. As a marketer, I'd love to see a video on their homepage that gets a more focused marketing message across instead of that shocking audio. (But that's just my opinion. I really like their pro open API philosophy. Keep 'em watching.)

Anyway,
That's my thoughts for the day.
