Please Donate for Haiti

January 15th, 2010 Comments off

For the rest of the month of January I will be donating 10% of Remote Backup Systems’ gross sales for humanitarian relief in Haiti. The money will go to the funds listed on this page. I encourage you to donate on your own, as well.

Injured people who could be saved with medical attention may begin dying from simple injuries within days.

Haiti will need relief for many months to come. If you can, I recommend you set up a monthly recurring donation for a year.

You can donate $10 to the Red Cross directly from your mobile phone by texting “Haiti” to 90999. Your donation will be added to your phone bill.

You can also donate $5 to Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund by texting “Yele” to 501501.

Or you can select one of the following links.  Thank you.

December 29th, 2009 Comments off

In an open letter to their customers, Ashtray also apologized for a recent software release that caused massive, repeatable data loss for many of their Service Providers, and announced that they were “pretty confident” that another new relerase should resolve at least 90% of the problems. I guess this means that they are also “pretty confident” that at least 10% of their users will still experience massive data loss.

Is Unlimited Online Backup a Scam?

by Rob Cosgrove

It must have seemed like jumping off a cliff in the dark without a safety line for the first online backup company who offered unlimited storage for a set low price. I think it was Mozy in the Summer of 2005 (I’m going to ramble a little and then come back to my point). Read more…
