Jason and Dave's ThoughtCast - December 5, 2005

This time, the ThoughtCast strays from just being Pocket PC or even mobile device related. Jason wanted to talk about a very important general computing topic, backing up. While the solutions do interface with mobile devices, they are more about keeping your data safe and synchronized so you can know it is safe and access it from anywhere.

NOTE FROM JASON: Since the recording of this ThoughtCast several weeks ago, FolderShare has been acquired by Microsoft. So the good news is that the service is now free - it may not be free forever, but for now this is a great way to try out the service. The bad news, at least for those of us that have been using FolderShare for quite some time, is that the latest client software is actually less featured than previous versions. The ability to synchronize only the parts of files that have changed has been removed because it was based on an open-source library that has since been removed from the product. One can hope this feature will return, because having to sync a 2GB archive PST file to several computers every time Outlook is opened and closed again...is a pain. ;-) I still recommend FolderShare highly for file distribution and data backup.
