I have just learned about a really awesome service – Backupify. Â This a really simple yet extremely useful web application for those of us who use plenty of web services. Â Backupify, as you have probably guessed from the name of it, does backups. Â It can backup your data from a whole lot of services – Gmail, Flickr, Delicious, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, and so forth. Â Backups are stored at Amazon’s S3 service. Â And you have an option of using your own S3 subscription if you have one. Â I don’t so I chose to use the one from Backupify.
As I said, the service is extremely easy to use. Â You just register for an account and then specify which of your online profiles should be backed up. Â There are options for daily and weekly backups and email notifications. Â Support for more services is in the works too. Â And the best part of it is that if you register today (before December 31, 2009), you’ll have a free account forever!
But if you were late for the free cheese, I’m sure the usefulness of such a service is beyond a few bucks that they will ask you for later on. Â Strongly recommended!
