New way to back up files?

Posted on: November 19, 2009 6:00 PM, by Greg Laden

Send an email to yourself in the future! This service allows you to send an email to yourself in the future. This is a little like an assignment my daughter was given this year in school: A letter to yourself that you are then forced to open and read when you are a Senior. Only this is an email and it is probably OK to just delete it if you want to.

I already use my gmail account to back up key files - I just mail them to my account there.

Email myself documents was the number 1 I saved documents in the computer lab in college. Here in my office, it's quite common when someone is going on the road (and I give 'em a loner laptop) that's the way they make sure they have whatever Doc's they need for the trip. Jump on OWA grab, do what you need with the Doc then dump it when your done. That way there is no documents left on the loner, and if you need the doc again, just fire up your browser.
