I was talking to a web client of mine who’s computer was completely fried. Totally toasted. They have now been without a computer for three weeks, and it’s looking as though they lost all of their data.
All. Of. It.
Contacts, files, email – everything! Although they should have had a decent backup plan in place, few of us do a very good job of doing this regularly. Besides, even if you have a computer disaster, there are a lot of hours involved in restoring your data. Honestly, I have no idea how my client has been able to continue doing business without their computer!
This is one of the reasons I have increased my use of cloud based apps. My computer could die, today, and all of my files, emails, tasks, notes, and contacts could be accessed from another computer.
I recently scythed Microsoft’s Office 365, so what’s a good office solution?
