While I consider
myself as quite advanced computer user, recently I almost lost all my pictures.
My slave drive, where all pics were stored suddenly died after unexpected power
outage with no signs of trouble or any warnings. Yes, I definitely has backup,
but the backup drive appeared to be solid dead as well, when I tried to recover
the valuable information. Statistical probability that both drives will die at
the same time is quite low, but it exist as you see. Frankly, it took me several months and
multiple data recovery tools to get all the pictures back, but I learned the
lesson. You need to have double and triple backup for your valuable data. And,
one of the components of the secure solution should be server, located remotely
and is not physically present at your home. That will preserve the information
in case of fire or any natural disasters.
In search for free,
secure, and convenient backup solution, I stumbled upon the services offered by
MiMedia. The free plan gives you one of the biggest complimentary online
storage available among competitors – 7 GB of data. Yes, MiMedia will help you
protect and enjoy up to 7 GB of your digital life - the files, media
collections and important data that are invaluable to you - for free, forever,
no strings attached.
Developers claim
that the data is absolutely secure on their servers - their storage system is
located in Tier 1, geo-redundant data centers, which mean they maintain
multiple copies of your files in more than one secure location. Their
enterprise-quality servers are also built on RAID architecture, one of the most
sophisticated types of protection available.
You can use your
online account to backup the data from multiple computers, and access the data
from any devices, connected to the Internet as well.
While I was most
concerned for my photos backup, you can use your account effectively for other
purposes. MiMedia elegantly presents and logically organizes your files by
media type, so you can listen to your music including your favorite playlists,
watch your latest videos, and view any of your photo galleries all in one user
friendly location. You can also easily share photos and videos with your

One of the main
features of the MiMedia services is instant backup. Your digital life is always
expanding, which means more photos, more music, and more files. MiMedia backs
up your files in real time. MiMedia's backup client runs behind the scenes and

broadband connection. No more scheduling backups. It just happens. The MiMedia

enabling you to view and access all of the files which are backed up right from
your desktop. The (m:) drive is an online drive that follows you everywhere. No
