World Backup DayPlanning to do anything for World Backup Day tomorrow?

Just like changing the battery in your smoke detector, backing up your digital assets is something you need to do for your own good. We all know we should do it, but laziness, ignorance and the other demands of life seem to get in the way.

So a bunch of companies who are in the backup biz have created World Backup Day along with some nice discounts and giveaways to help get us all up off our unbacked-up butts.
