SureSync for the Home NetworkCustomers always seem to find it surprising that, as the VP of Marketing and Sales, I actually know how to use our product. Perhaps the surprise is due to the fact that many marketers don’t actually have an opportunity to use their products in their home computing environment. With SureSync, this just isn’t the case. There are a growing number of us who use SureSync on our home networks to maintain files between our desktop and laptop or even backup files to an external hard drive. Recently I have acquired a new desktop to replace my slow and old desktop at home. My new acquisition prompted me to reevaluate how I use SureSync on my home network.

In fact, more and more I have been ripping my music CD’s and loading pictures from my digital camera directly onto the laptop, meaning they weren’t on my desktop nor were they backed up to the external hard drive. Issue #3: Using my old scheduled method of backing up files to a secondary disk storage didn’t feel safe enough. All too often I have heard a friend or family member talk about their hard drive failures and data loss. Since I was scheduling my backups, sometimes the computer wasn’t on when the schedule was due to launch, completely missing changes and additions since the last jobs ran.
