Google's more reliable than any Corporate network I've ever used. Also, I know the backup regime on my home network is not perfect. (I'm never going to go to the trouble of keeping off-line backups, let alone in a fireproof safe, or at a separate site.)Originally posted by bogeyman View Post
I must find a reliable free backup service on the web, for my documents. There must be one out there, by now. -
Yes there is. It's called a password protected zip file and a gmail account.Originally posted by IR35 Avoider View Post"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Um - a Gmail account?Originally posted by Moscow Mule View Post
He did say 'reliable' which Gmail proves not to be.
How about a password protected zip file and a memory stick (or pocket HDD if you have enough data to warrant it)?

I didn't notice it was down. I've received and answered emails on my blackberry all day.Originally posted by bogeyman View Post
Looking at the facts, 4 hours downtime in the last 6 months doesn't seem that bad to me.
I've had whole days (about 3 times) without email at current clientco in the same 6 months."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Here's some of 'em. From the Telegraph:Originally posted by bogeyman View Post
From the same article:Several major companies, including Telegraph Media Group and The Guardian, have switched to using the Google Apps suite in place of conventional desktop email. Google Apps allows users to work collaboratively on documents via the web, as well as share calendars, and provides instant messaging and chat alongside Gmail email services.
It appears that only web-based Gmail access is affected, and users can continue to send and receive messages using other devices, such as mobile phones and third-party mail clients.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
