We always advise our clients to backup their data. No matter how new their system, the chance of a catastrophic crash is right around the corner, the likes of which possibly resulting in the loss of critical data. Well, in an age where much of our computer use centers around the internet, a good deal of that the data we prize is now stored online, making it difficult to back it up as easily as we would the information housed within our our hard drives.

Backupify is an extremely helpful service that solves that problem, backing up your online data – Facebook, Gmail, Photobucket, and more – so that you’re able to browse the web with a little less anxiety over how secure your information is should one of the sites you frequent experience problems that threaten the data you’ve stored since your account’s creation.

Once you’re signed up for Backupify, the service performs scheduled backups at one of the 10 online services it supports, requiring only that you provide the login information for that site you’d like backed up. After you’re set up, Backupify ensures that your information is never deleted – easing any worries you might have about  losing all of those blog posts you’ve put on your Facebook page.

There is a fee for subscribing to the service, but it’s certainly more than manageable, considering how critical the information is to many. While Twitter backups are free, the pay plans range from $3.95 $14.95 per month, with fluctuations in price contingent upon just how much you need stored.

This is for those of us who spend a considerable amount of time online, wanting to protect the data we store on the internet.
