I am a technical consultant serving small businesses. Most of my clients need an easy and robust backup service to protect business documents. Before I saw this service, I was only able to offer local backup service, which is not secure enough. Now DriveHQ really enables me to offer Remote / Offsite backup service. The coolest thing with this service is it can encrypt/decrypt files transparently; this level of security is a requirement for lots of my clients, esp. Law firms, accounting firms and clinics, etc.
Betty asks…
Is Shutterfly good enough backup?
Recently, I’ve found myself taking more and more pictures and it’s starting to clog up my hard drive. I’m looking to back up the pictures online (or elsewhere, if that would be better). I usually put SOME of my pictures on Shutterfly so I can print them. Would putting ALL my photos on Shutterfly and just using that as the backup be sufficient or should back it up else online?
Jere answers:
If you want a backup then do it on an external hard drive rather than on-line.
What is to say that the on-line site won’t suddenly go out of business and you can never get the images back – it has happened before.
By all means have the on-line but your best back for a back up is to have it on a physical drive which only you have access to and which is not subject to the vagaries of the commercial world.
Michael asks…
What is needed in order to offer online storage and backup services.?
I would like to know more , as much as in detail as possible, about the equipment and infrastructure needed in order to run and offer a small/mid size online storage service. The idea is to offer secure online file storage hopefully also including cloud technologies. i would like to know info regarding equipment, technology, human resources, types of workers..etc any info is much appreciated. (and yes, i am aware of the extensive competition in the industry, im planning on having very narrow and specific target market focus).

Free online data storage?
Does anyone know a free online data storage, min. 5 GB?
The files must be accessible for the download by URL, without it asks username and password.
Thanks

Carol asks…
Email backup of my yahoo account?
Please inform me if there is a way to have a backup of my emails at Yahoo (Small Business Email Account)
Jere answers:
Hey Halim, the way to back up or archive your Yahoo! Business Email mailbox is through POP or possibly IMAP. The difference between the two would be that POP downloads only what is in the Inbox and the Spam folder while IMAP syncs all folders. POP only downloads whereas IMAP actually syncs which means that it will try to stay current to whatever is currently on the Yahoo! Server so if you delete an email online, the same email will be deleted from your email client which will not happen in POP by default.
So if you are looking to archive your emails before you close your plan with Yahoo!, IMAP could be the fastest way for your to back up your entire mailbox although if you are just trying to keep a backup of your oldest emails so you can remove them from the server, then POP may be the best option for you.
You can find resources for both processes from here:
“POP and IMAP Access”
