New WS_FTP Home promotion

I saw a new promotion for WS_FTP Home listed on the Ipswitch website. If you buy WS_FTP Home you also get a free 4-month subscription to Carbonite online backup service.

Here's the scoop on Carbonite: "Back up everything on your PC, automatically. Nonstop and unlimited automatic backup over the Internet". Online backup done well.... You set it up once, and after that it just works" -- PC World.

Last week I went ahead and bought a license of WS_FTP Home for my second computer. WS_FTP Home installation was a breeze. A couple hours late I got an email from Ipswitch telling me how to claim my free subscription to Carbonite. Installation of Carbonite was also a breeze.

I never really considered using an online backup service before. But I gotta tell you, WOW .... it takes less than 5 minutes to set-up and then all updates are automatic. It's 100% set-it-and-forget-it. Whenever I put a new file on my computer Carbonite automatically adds it to my online secure backup folder. No more manual backups. No more cluttering up my external hard drive with backups. No more being mad at myself for forgetting to backup my stuff.

It feels good to know that Carbonite has me covered. And best of all its soooooo easy! Thanks WS_FTP!
