I use Dropbox to maintain a near real-time backup of my important data. You can too. Here's how to get started.
- Sign up on the Dropbox site. You get 2 GB of storage for free!
- Download and install the Dropbox client. It's a very small file that installs quickly.
- Put files in your Dropbox folder. What could be easier?
Some other nice features of Dropbox include:
- Retrieve your data from the web site using any computer.
- Share files via the "public" folder instead of email or FTP.
- Recover a previous version of a file to undo a mistake.

I recommend you try Dropbox. It's simple, quick, and just might save your bacon. Give it a try and then let me know how you like it.
