How Apptix Online Backup Saved the Day
Monday, May 23, 2011 | 0 Comments
"The Blue Screen of Death. It happens to nearly all of us at some point, despite our best efforts to make our computers feel loved with regular updates and gentle sweet talk.
Last week, my hard drive decided to go to that great Best Buy in the Sky. I panicked, of course – blinding paranoia took over as I realized all my hard work was gone … gone forever into the abyss, never to be seen again. I just knew I’d spend forever rebuilding and redoing until everything was finally back up to snuff.
Lucky for me, our IT Guy heard my screams and swears and came running over to my desk in full superhero mode. Placing his hands on his hips and jutting his chin high into the air, he said, “How can I help you, milady?”
I explained that my laptop had died a sudden and tragic death, and right in the middle of that groundbreaking report I was writing that I hadn’t managed to save in awhile. (Because, isn’t that ALWAYS when these things happen? When you’re doing something truly amazing and too busy for a quick Control-S?)
“Don’t fret,” he said. “You’ve got Apptix Online Backup!”
Once the chorus of angels in my head quieted down, I realized I was one lucky lady. Sure enough, my handy dandy backup runs like clockwork, and all my stuff, including that Super Mega Important Groundbreaking Document, was safe and sound out there in the cloud, just waiting to come back home.
The IT Guy got to rebuilding my machine in no time, and I went about answering emails and lowering my blood pressure while the backup service repopulated my PC. I hardly knew the restoration was running in the background, except that my files kept magically reappearing.
Whew. Simple, safe, secure, and, most importantly, fast. Thanks, Apptix Online Backup. You really did save the day.
I’m glad Online Backup helped me avert disaster. Any horror stories of your own to share? Let us know in the comments. Interested in more information about our Online Backup service, or any of our other security solutions? Check out the Apptix Online Backup site, or give us a call.
