In my previous post, i talked about Backing up your Files/Folders and computer online with Carbonite backup solution. Carbonite backup isnt free and it costs $54.95 for one year subscription. The other backup solution which i have talked about few months back is Mozy Backup. Mozy backup got a free option too but with many limitations. Its paid unlimited Mozy Home solution comes for $54.45 for one year subscription.
Both of these paid solutions offer almost same competitive features with almost difference. If you want to read in detail about them, read my posts from the links above.
Now one of subscribers of Avinashtech can get either one of them free for 1 year (Genuine License). Avinashtech in association with offers.com is offering a single 1 year license of either Mozy Home or Carbonite Backup. If you want, you can see a comaprision between the two solutions here.

I have found that the BackUPMAX Online Backup service for Mac and Windows has far more features and better security. It can even help locate a lost computer and erase sensitive data from stolen computers by remote!
They are always interesting in giveaways and contests too. Here’s a link to a secret page with a free six month account: http://backupmax.com/2996
I have never heard of backupmax though before. But just i looked on the site. The service is almost twice costly compared to Mozy and carbonite both about which i talked here leaving aside the merits and demerits.
Anyway thanx for the link of 6 months free service of Backupmax.
Thanks,great sharing..
Sounds like a winner to me.
You’re so welcome.
In response to your last post:
Unlike Mozy and Carbonite, Mac wasn’t an afterthought for BackUPMAX. They released the Mac and Windows versions at the same time and I think they are far more dedicated to the platform than either of the other two services.
BackUPMAX was founded by Remote Backup Systems’ Rob Cosgrove – the undisputed founder of the Online Backup industry. He wrote the first commercial online backup software in 1987 for telephone modems, and has continued to define the state of the art for the past 22 years.
Mozy and Carbonite are just selling backup space like a commodity. BackUPMAX sells a service that includes file versioning, the Security Suite that can remotely shred sensitive data, geolocate a stolen computer, and snap pictures, sound, and video of the thief.
BackUPMAX sells a strongly competitive product and service at a reasonable price that insures they will be around for the long term to service their customers. I have seen a lot of less expensive backup services fail.
They are also ridiculously responsive to their customers.
@Samantha, I cant comment on your claims and counter claims. Because i haven’t used backupmax hence i cant even say how much you are correct or not.
The users are wise enough to select the right product for themselves whatever we wrote here after a thorough research atleast if he is spending say 50-100$.
Also, this place isnt for bashing some other products so please avoid that.
i recent ly know yours site seems good i would like to get one offer frfom yours site one mention pls. optimise for slow connections it takes time to load ion vbrowser
@sunkumar, i will try to make it load much faster but this one still optimised .Anyway will try for more.
