My Online Computer Backup: A Review of MyPCBackup

MyPCBackup Review

Do you realize that over 76% of the population in the US owns a computer? That's over 238 million people in the US alone.

And according to CNN only 25% of those 238 million computer owners backup the priceless files, photos, videos, documents, and everything else they keep on their computers.

Millions and millions of people are only a virus or hard drive crash away from losing everything...

How many of your photos, memories, music, and irreplaceable documents are stored on your computer?

My guess is you probably have a lot.

If you don't regularly backup your computer files, you're only one hard drive crash, one forgetful moment, or one accident away from losing your computer files forever.

Backing up your files on CD's or flash drives is a good idea, but who has the time to do it on a regular basis? Plus what would happen if your computer and your backups are in the same place at the wrong time?

Want to know what the best way to back up your computer files is?

The answer is easy!

Let MyPCBackup do it for you!

Top 5 Customer Questions about MyPcBackup

Why is my backup slow?

MyPCBackup uses the highest level technology in the server storage world today; Amazon s3 servers. These offer the fastest backup service possible.

Any speed problems are likely to be due to your Internet connection. (Remember you are uploading not downloading)

A lifetime of photos, files, and music does take some time to be securely stored remotely.

Once the initial backup has completed future backups will take minutes if not seconds.

If you are looking to backup music and photos then please allow a few days to a week for your first backup to complete.

MyPCBackup has developed innovative encryption technology which allows us to upload small pieces of data for any changes to existing backed up documents. This gives you the ability to restore previous versions and speed up your future backups.

It is suggested that you turn off any sleep settings you may have set on your computer, and make sure it is not turned off during your first backup. Over time hard drives become fragmented, put simply this means stored data is spread out across the disk. If you have not run a disk defragmenter for a while, or at all, this will affect the upload speed.

MyPCBackup has been voted as the fastest backup provider by many industry directories.

I think my backup has stalled

When the application is processing a large file it can appear as if the software has stalled. Depending on the size of the file and your internet connection it could take up to a day to backup one file. If two large files are backed up in succession the progress could only show a couple of files over a 48 hour period. This is normal, please do not be alarmed.

Please also note users backing up large amounts of data will have their file processing times lengthened rather than any bandwidth being restricted.

I chose the wrong plan

Please don't worry if you have accidentally purchased the wrong plan. Just contact MyPCBackup support team and they will immediately downgrade you to the correct plan and refund you the difference back to you.

From time to time a customer accidentally chooses the wrong plan. Their order form displays the equivalent monthly price then immediately displays the term it is paid over next to it. I.e. it displays 4.95 for the 2 year plan but is billed up front, thus charging you 118.80.

MyPCBackup tries this as clear as possible and are trying to help their customers by offering a cheaper price for a longer commitment.

Missing files

If you appear to be missing files on your online account, you may need to check that the files you wish to backup have been selected manually.

To do this, simply click Backup Settings on your application.

Once clicked, select the Tab called Backup Selection.

Then select "Manual Selection" - This will pop a window, where you are able to see what files have already been selected as well as selecting new files to backup.

Once complete, simply click OK, followed by apply.

Then Simply go back to the App and select - Backup Now, this should now backup the files that have just been selected in addition to ones that were already selected.
