Must Have Software for Back to School: StudentBackup.com

Back to school time is here. Whether you are sending your child off to college or have a freshman entering high school, there is a software product that is beneficial for everyone –StudentBackup.com.

Easy to install, StudentBackup protects valuable school work in the event of a computer crash or virus…even if the laptop is lost or stolen. StudentBackup provides unlimited storage and backs up student work files automatically…every single day. The automated process only requires that a student connect to the Internet each day. The software then scans the student's "My Documents" folder and transmits a copy of all files to an offsite data facility using military-grade encryption software via internet connection. After each daily back up the students receive a confirmation e-mail that their backup was a success.

Compatible with all current operating systems, StudentBackup is priced at just $49 for a one year subscription. A 2 year subscription is available for $89, 3 year $119, and a 4 year subscription is also offered for $149.

And now, adding even more value, StudentBackup recently added a new feature to the software, Laptop Locator. At no additional charge, Laptop Locator assists the schools IT Security and Police Office in tracking the laptop location via IP address if the machine is lost or stolen. Not only that, when connected to the Internet Laptop Locator will transmit a picture in PDF format, a twenty second video (laptop must have a camera), and a 20 second audio clip of whatever is in front of the computer! Laptop Locator also allows the student to remotely retrieve (or delete) files through the StudentBackup.com website.

Worth $49? I certainly think so.
