Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks.
Since Christmas I have had a couple of goals that I am pursuing, you could almost call them New Years resolutions. The first and perpetual goal is improving the website’s Page Rank and placement on Google, which I must say is going rather well. Content, content, content… and a lot of keyword optimization (mostly keyword optimization at this point).
The second goal is… adding content to the website. The main content that I want to add is support related. As you probably noticed this goal is not going so well. My excuse is that weather, a blizzard, has interfered with this task. Anyway, I will get to work on adding the support content over the next couple of days.

As I’ve been sitting here thinking about what to say in this email, I’ve been watching the second winter storm of the season role over Saskatoon. With highs around –16°C (3°F) and lows below –20°C (-10°F) I can imagine that you are wondering why anyone would move his or her business and family to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. It gets cold, really cold, in the winter, and hot in the summer, but people are friendly and it’s a dry cold (or at least that is what I’ve heard), and the heat is dry too.
I guess I should go back a bit and let you know that I, and Simply Offsite, have moved… to Saskatoon. We moved here back in July and I am just finally getting around to letting everyone know. I should apologize for the long delay and lack of communication. I have been very busy working behind the scenes to make changes so that I could communicate with you.
So what does the move matter to you? It matters a lot as it represents a major change in focus for S ...

Obviously I think the answer to this is yes (Simply Offsite is my company) as do Fred Wilson and Jeremy Zawodny, (see their posts Online Backup's Inflection Point, and Swimming Pools and Hard Disks), however, I still don’t think its practical to backup an enormous amount of data but not because of bandwidth. The cost of storage is the problem.

Originally an online backup meant backing up files, usually on a server, without taking the server off line. That is the server and what ever it was serving, like a web server, or email server, remained available during the backup process. The real need or desire for an online backup (aka open file backup), evolved with our amassing of data, the Internet and an insane work ethic.
