Human forgetfulness and failure-prone mechanical hard disks make backups less reliable than they should be. Automatic online backup is designed to combat both these problems. JustCloud is a backup utility that whisks copies of your files to a remote and secure location over an encrypted connection. If your computer has a problem, you can be safe in the knowledge that your files are safe and sound in the cloud. JustCloud does not offer a vast palette of backup tools and is not designed to get your computer out of trouble; it provides simple automated file storage in a remote location, with no pretence of system-wide backup or recovery - if your hard disk goes bang you'll still need a Windows disc for a reinstall, but your files will be safe.

 

Prices for JustCloud vary by length of initial subscription; you can get unlimited storage for one PC for just £5 a month if you're willing to pay for two years upfront, which is good value, and the sync service is useful if not as powerful as SugarSync's. It's a fine backup service, but Livedrive is the same price and has some useful extra features, such as smartphone apps to view your files and free support for recovering 30 days of previous versions of files, compared to JustCloud's 7.
