Re: DATA BACKUP

[Jeff Duke <jeffloops@gmail.com>]

I have also opened a Mega account just for testing. It got slammed at first but has started working pretty well now. 50 gigs is pretty good for free! Everything is encrypted to the point that if you lose your password you can not get another!!! So take heed. They are talking about implementing a way to do that in the future.

However...Mega is a new company from Kim Dot Com who you might remember from Megaupload fame. The gov shut down Megaupload and is still trying to extradite him. Anti pirate groups and the gov I assume also really want Mega shut down badly! So the point being don't count on this site being your only backup. Just Google for more info on Mega.

eyes open,

Jeff

Rick thanks for the heads up.  Looks good, I signed up.  Wondering if it's a promotional that will dry up in 6 months but regardless it's a nice storage deal for now.

Last week a new free cloud storage site was launched in New Zealand that
offers 50 gigs of storage for free.   They got over a million customers
in a couple of days, apparently.

They are called  MEGA              you can upload and download to it and send out
the download information to your friends if apropos.
