My grad assistant Jeff recently had the hard drive on his notebook crash. Like MOST of us
he did not have important files backed up, including an important proposal. Sound familiar? If he had been running the freeium program syncplicity, he could have had his files automatically being backed up on the fly - no hassle, no brainier. If you found your way this far, you can figure out how to use syncplicity from their web site. And yes, it works fine running Parallels on a Mac
. But, as the TV guys say, there’s more!
IF you are running an iPhone AND you are running syncplicity, THEN you can go to https://m.syncplicity.com, log in with your appropriate UN/PW, and access your backed up files. Else, ??? See here for details. Uber! Hank

If you really don’t want to think about it you could use Apple’s Time Machine and enable internet access to your hard drive that is plugged into your Airport…
I don’t think you could get iPhone access to it, so you still win… but I don’t have an iphone… nor do I use Apple’s back up software… I just dump what I need on the drive connected to my airport, and type in my ip address and password and its all mine again! 1TB of data from anywhere in the world with internet. (Pretty freaking so tho… but thats comcasts fault)
