VPN Evolved

A coworker found this very neat app. "It allows VPN functionality in a easy, secure and simple way." Travis.Net.Blog: "VPN Evolved"

The only thing I don't like is that you have to install the client on each end, which might be a problem in a corporate environment.

I'm Naturally Cautious

I am a naturally cautious person. I'm always trying to back-up my stuff on my computers to other computers in my network just in case a hard drive fails. I also routinely backup stuff to DVD disks. But I always have in the back of mind, 'What happens if a fire happens'. Of course my data would be on the lower end of my worries but I have some important data that I would like to protect.

Thus enters Mozy. Mozy is a backup utility that stores your data (encrypted) to offsite storage at Mozy's servers. Mozy has a free plan that will allow you to backup up to 2GB of data. They have plans that you can pay for that allow more storage.

I've been using Mozy for several days now and it has been a breeze to get configured and to use. The only annoyance that I have with Mozy is that it currently only supports Windows XP (so my server downstairs is still not protected) but Mozy is only in beta. I'm hoping they'll add Win2003 support in the full 1.0 release.

This is a great tool to add an extra layer of protection to your data. Plus it has the magical word tied to it, FREE.
