All signs point to the slow demise of traditional magnetic, physically driven hard drives. The reason is that SSDs are incredibly fast, quiet, and power efficient. The only things that are barriers right now are cost and capacity. But the capacities are edging up and the cost is slowly going down. There will be a price point soon that will really accelerate that cost factor being driven down. MemoRight has put out a blazing fast 128GB 3.5 SSD that will help that evolution occur.
This is something that has been in my mind for a while. The internet is a great place to do distributed, node processing. Heck, it’s how the internet works! I have thought for a while now that backups could be leverage that nodal framework. But, there are inherent issues in that. Zoogmo has come along with a very cool peer to peer backup technique that you should check out.
One of the major pains of technology these days is moving data around. There are many ways around that like flash drives, using Gmail as a folder, etc. Windows has a new service that allows you to put your files in one place and access them from the internet. It’s called Windows Live Foldershare.
With the advent of mobile devices that store ridiculous amounts of data, loss of data has become a big problem. Unfortunately, most people tend to dump loads of information on these devices and not have a backup. Of course, Murphy comes calling when folks do that and BAM, you start receiving error messages, like these on the iPhone:
When that happens, you should start thinking data recovery because your data just went south. Fret not, you may still be able to recover that Homer Simpson ring tone.
The HP MV2020 is a good bet for a NAS box. After our flop with the Linksys NAS200, it’s a nice find. In case you have no context for NAS, let me explain. NAS is network area storage. It gives you a simple way to have storage across the network. This is becoming more important to consumers as digital media has exploded.
As consumer digital media explodes, we are seeing continued forays into the storage and backup market. Enter Linksys’ Nas200 storage appliance. This little nifty box is a pretty nice box that can satisfy basic storage requirements for most people. Except, well, it’s performance sucks.
Small to mid sized businesses will probably take a look at a solution like this. The autoloader allows for up to 8 70GB Rev drives to be loaded up. And the slots allow you to take the drives off site if you want. Now you can cycle through a weekly backup scheme with ease.
You’ve probably heard some of these acronyms thrown around. Oh, and the IT world seems to run on acronyms. It’s enough to drive anyone crazy. All these acronyms have to do with hard drives. They describe the way that a hard drive connects to your computer’s motherboard. That’s a broad generalization, but let’s go with that. Let’s go through them really quickly so you understand what they are.
I’m always in the hunt for free backup software. Luis Cobian has developed a nice backup program, aptly called Cobian Backup, that you may be interested in. 2BrightSparks also has a great backup program, but I’ll leave that for the next post. |
