Work travel has called lately, and once again I am furiously backing up project files (all 24 versions), libraries of presentations and images and the copious amounts of contact information and e-mail that follow me on multiple devices. And as always, there is an opportunity for a mistake that costs days of work and untold dollars, pounds, yen and so on.

Thankfully, applications like Backup Platinum exist to take a lot of this worry off of me. Backup Platinum can create backups of your critical data to hard or USB drives, CD-R/W, DVD, FTP or LAN with 128-bit file encryption and ZIP compression.

Jump over and give it a look before important files get overwritten with videos of a cat stuck in a milkjug you downloaded from YouTube.
