Backing up your online data

With everything you're posting to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Gmail, and the myriad of other social media sites, it might be safe to say that much of your life resides online somewhere. Have you taken the time to figure out what would happen if, say, one of those services shut its doors? Or had a major data loss? Or just accidentally wiped out your account? Most of us don't. Fortunately, some folks have been doing that thinking for us, and are offering backup functionality for a lot of the services you use online. The service I use is Backupify, because it handles so many different services. Right now it backs up your Flickr, Twitter, Delicious, Zoho, Google Docs, Photobucket, Wordpress, Basecamp, Gmail, Facebook, FriendFeed, Blogger, Hotmail, Picasa, Google Contacts and Google Calendar. And there are more on the way! The basic service (2GB storage) is free - for more storage, you'll be paying between $40-$60 a year, which is a not too bad for that kind of peace of mind. Check it out!
