If you are a PC, you’ve lost your hard-drive to a virus or malware. I’m a PC and I’ve lost everything; pictures, family videos, music and more. It’s only since I started using Trend Micro and Microsoft Security Essentials that I’ve had “some” sense of security. Understand, my software is set to update daily AND I do it manually because you can never be certain when a virus comes out that your scheduled update has that virus fix included. I’ve been searching for a laptop backup solutions and still have a hard time finding PC backup software that will backup everything; including software and licenses. I just want an all inclusive affordable mirrored copy of my laptop backed up. And here’s the catch, I don’t want my system to completely be bogged down in the process.

  Laptop Backup Copiun

I’ve done some asking around about dealing with viruses and malware and ever since the iPhone came out people swear on the MAC as the total security safe platform.

 

I’ve pondered the pros and cons of being a MAC or a PC and when everything is said and done, if I can protect my PC data (including software) I prefer a PC and here is why:

 
    1. MACs are more expensive
    2. Any design work you want to do with a MAC can be done with a PC
    3. Software releases always update PCs before MACs operating systems
    4. I don’t want to ruffle any feathers here and while I’m not a super techie, I still like seeing the black command line screen.

Understand throughout my career I’ve been a PC, then a MAC and a PC again. I’ve had jobs where I’ve worked in a MAC environment (MAC Temps) and then go home to a PC.

I want to stay a PC, but I’d really like a laptop backup solution that gives me the easy button. Maybe this is why cloud computing is having its biggest growth year since its inception.

In my continued quest to find answers, I always go to the search engines and IT Guys! In my Google researched I found laptop backup software solution COPIUN. While it’s not designed for consumers, it sounds like an IT Administrators’ and users’ dream; follow me here, if you work for a mid to large size organization and must access the VPN while working remotely, then you know the feeling of SLOW data transfer. How many times has your system started backing up your data remotely and you’ve stopped it because it bogs down your computer? When I worked at Cisco Systems, the backup was the first thing I turned off after logging into the VPN! I know I’m not alone here, but it appears COPIUN has found a solution to remote data backup; the user can be on the phone, get a refill of coffee and never know the backup is happening. I don’t know all the interworking, but it looks good for both sides of laptop back.
I think I’m going to do a laptop backup series because there is no way to figure this out in one night. It looks like most of the laptop backup solutions out there are more for IT managers and not consumers.

Anyone have any experience is finding a complete mirror; easy button to laptop backup?
