Backup

[ Home ]

Many users of CompuDance (indeed, many users of most programs) do not backup their computers on a regular schedule  because of the inconvenience.  Backups can be difficult.  The procedures and instructions may be confusing to a novice computer user, and they may be time-consuming if not done properly.

Someday you will be the target of a hard disk crash or a virus.  Some day, something will happen to your hard drive.  It's inevitable -- just a matter of time -- like death and taxes.  Computers are machines, and man has not yet created a machine which lasts forever.  They all break down.  At that point in your life, getting up and running again will be even more time-consuming, quite expensive, and extremely frustrating.

We spend most of our support time and financial resources helping studios who had no backups get back in business after a "disaster."

You should use the CompuDance Backup Operation to backup your CompuDance Files each day.  But what about all of the other data, files, documents, etc. on your computer?

We are pleased to let you know about a backup solution that makes backups of all those files easy, reliable, safe, and timely.

Connected OnLine Backup uses your internet connection to backup your important data to an off-site location.  You can backup yourself each day, or the software can, at a random time during the night, pick up your phone, dial your internet service provider, make a connection, and transmit your files over the internet via a high level, secure and confidential, encryption scheme.  It does this while you are sleeping!

We have used this service for years, backing up every night!  It has "saved our life" three times when one of our computers crashed - November 2002, January 2004, May 2006.  Two of those times we lost all software from our computer when we had to reformat our hard drive.  We were up and running in less than 24 hours, sending out orders, E-Mailing, and re-writing CompuDance.

There is a monthly service charge of $14.95.  If you have ever had a computer crash (and you will some day), you know it is a small price to pay for security, safety, and peace-of-mind.

We know that you probably use the CompuDance Backup Operation to save your studio dance files.  Connected OnLine Backup will allow you to back up all of your other important and valuable files on your computer -- letters, word processing files, addresses, databases, financial information, etc. 

Try it out!  The setup is simple.  The first month is free.  Click the logo below.
