Every material thing in our lives can be replaced. Memories can't. With Backup Bank your memories can be backed up.

If you plan to leave your computer at home with all your memories stored on it for an extended vacation a myriad of problems that can still befall your digital equipment - theft, natural disasters, or just plain old failures.

So when you go on holiday spare a thought for the computers you leave behind and the ones you take with you. We recommend a strategy that starts with backing up the computers you leave at home and having automatic backups of photos and videos you create while on the road with your smartphone.

Before leaving on holiday

Always have at least two recent backups of critical or precious files. One local and one off site (Backup Bank).

On the Road

The advantage of Backup Bank is that so long as you have sufficient bandwidth (or a Wi-Fi connection) to keep the uploads up to date all the pictures and video taken on your smartphone can be automatically uploaded to your Backup Bank Account for safe keeping.

You can set the uploads to your smartphone to only take place over a wireless connection if necessary.

An hour of prevention is worth much more than lost memories . We thus advise that before you leave make sure you have complete backups, and backup photos, and other information you create while on the road. This can reduce the heartache when things go awry, and keep precious digital memories safe even if material ones fade.
