We all know how important it is to back up your data, and what can happen if you don’t. Twice this year, I’ve had computer failures, first a dead hard drive, and then a fried motherboard. Fortunately, since I back up my data regularly, the damage was minimal. So yes, backing up your data is crucial, but it can also be a hassle.

Microsoft Vista has a built in back up tool, but it doesn’t always do the job well. It doesn’t allow you to really pick and choose what you want to back up, and it backs up a lot of junk you really don’t need, like all the built in software that came with your system, which no one needs a back up of!

Fortunately Siber Systems has come to the rescue with GoodSync. This marvelous program automatically backs up your data and syncs it between laptops, servers, desktops, and portable drives, all with just a few clicks! Continued after the break.
