ROI on backing up

When you consider how much we pay for our computers $1000+, how much we pay for broadband/cable connection $300 pa, plus how much we pay for each of the songs we legally download, and all of the effort you put into performing the downloads or creating those important documents surely its got to be worth enough to want to secure it.

It baffles me that pc owners think that because MS Office has saved it, that its saved forever. I believe I have lost more files from my own errors than from a pc disaster. I am my own worst enemy.

One of the cheapest back-up services out there that is brain dead simple and really unlimited is Carbonite at $60 pa. Surely pc owners out there would have information on their pc that would be worth more than $60.  Your contacts alone are worth more than that.

What would it cost you to recover or re-enter all of your contacts if you lost them.  Try this simple calculation. Multiply what you are currently getting paid per hour by 1.5x then multiply the result by the number of hours you think it will take for you to recover your contacts, say 2hours +. Close enough to $60? Factor in the frustration of having to go through the motions of manually finding them and the return on investment of Carbonite is sounding very sweet.
