I first heard about the company Backzup shortly after Backify came crashing down. Their launch press release is dated November 23 which was exactly one week after Backify was closed down by Livedrive. I did not even bother to post their launch press release here but wanted to post this one since the founder of [...]
I hestitated to post this news release, but after reading it I think it will provide some humor for the rest of the week. When you hear the word “iCloud” what company do you think of? If you said Apple you would be in the large majority of what people would say. But [...]
Got an interesting email this morning from Livedrive regarding one of their now former resellers, Backify. Backify made a splash roughly a month ago when they opened the doors and offered users 512GB of space for free. They promptly ended that promotion stating in another press release that they had 50,000 users signup. At that [...]
Another Livedrive reseller, BeeCloud, has released a news release today talking about their 512GB free online backup service. I can’t help but think they were a little jealous of Backify that came out on October 13 with the same offer, and then by October 18th stopped offering 512GB free accounts. Apparently Backify had [...]
In a move that is really not a surprise to anyone I am sure, Backify is already going to stop offering free 512GB accounts. It only took them 4 days since their launch to announce they are closing off new 512GB accounts. The good news is if you are one of the 50,000 [...]
Yesterday I mentioned that a new Livedrive reseller started up called Backify. They are offering a 512GB free account and have gotten some press because of it. I had a few minutes today to do a Google search or two and added to the Livedrive resellers list on the Livedrive review page. In [...]

While I saw the news release and some of the splash that was trying to be created I chose not to [...]
I have been pretty busy lately and have not had a chance to talk about the fact that Zovo online backup launched. I mentioned them previously when they were creating some buzz on Twitter by offering free accounts. I had received an invitation for a free account but unfortunately was away when the invites came [...]
Noticed on Twitter that there is a new online backup company starting to create a little buzz before launch. Don’t know much yet, their name is Zovo, and their website states: Defining the future of online data backup. Backup, its not sexy, and we all know we should be doing something about it. We will [...]
Looks like 2011 is turning out to the be the year of price increases for online backup services. First was Mozy, then Carbonite and now it looks like Livedrive will be increasing their prices as well. No word on what the new prices will be but this would be a good time to sign up [...]
