It has arrived. This holiday has no painted eggs, no tree, no turkey, and no costumes. But it does have gifts<\/a>: an iPad, five one-year unlimited online backup licenses, and more. More importantly, it has the ability to save your memories and give you the undying love of your friends, family, and co-workers.<\/p>\n

While 94% of computer users do not regularly backup their data<\/a>, if you’re reading this you are likely among the few who do. (And if you’re not, please start your free trial of Backblaze<\/a>. It takes nothing more than entering an email address\/picking a password, and clicking download.)<\/p>\n

However, if you look around, almost none of the other people you know and love back up their data. Help them.<\/p>\n

Tell them how easy it is.
\nTell them why you do it.
\nTell them to do it now, not after they’ve lost all their photos.<\/p>\n

A cure for cancer was lost<\/a>, companies have shut down<\/a>, and lots and lots of people have gone through the five stages of grieving…all because they simply didn’t back up their data.<\/p>\n

Take a moment and help your friends with the one minute task of making sure their photos, music, movies, and memories are safe. And if your friends start a free trial by April 2nd<\/sup>, 2012…they’ll also be entered to win a new iPad and one of five, free one-year subscriptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
