So you've just had a bout of blue screen, crashing, and ultimate PC failure, and you didn't exactly backup up all your files like you know you should have. Now, that you've got a fresh new computer, finding a backup is key to avoid an future disasters. The question now is which option do you choose? You could try the cloud type storage like Mozy or Carbonite, or you could go for the backup to extra hardware route. Both cost money for top, premium services, but both ultimately have some major drawbacks. With cloud storage, you can't access your data right away-- you've got to wait for them to send you that dvd. And with hardware backups, if there's a fire, flood, or other disaster, than your backup is really no good either. You could try Cucku, which is sort of a middle path. By using Cucku, you literally store your encrypted files on a friend's hard drive over Skype's P2P network. That friend, in turn, does the same with his files. That way, you have easy access to your files while ensuring that it's safe and sound. You get unlimited storage, and it's free.
