I've had nagging worries about backing up my data for over a year.  I have lots of precious videos of my kids on my personal hard drives at home.  Sensitive data for my business.  However, I never tackled the issue, mainly because I am so busy, and I didn't want to spend a boatload for backup services.I live in New York, and just lived through Hurricane Sandy.  My house was not flooded, but I have a friend who lives within five miles of my home.  His home was flooded.  His hard drive was immersed in salt water for six straight hours, and he was told the data is unrecoverable.I saw the title of this book, and thought immediately "that's for me".  I needed something simple so I could get back to the rest of my life.Schilling's discussion of using the behemoth companies like Amazon etc. is ingenious. His discussion of Drop Box was great.  And Flickr, i was like "duh, why didn't I think of that"?I am sleeping better now that my data is safe and secure.  If you've been putting off backing up your data, and are looking for a very inexpensive way to do it, this book is for you.
