The Truth About Hard Drives
Computers have become indespensible tools in our digital lives that contain irreplacable files and took a long time to setup and configure correctly. All of that "work" is stored on a hard drive. Hard drives (both mechanical and solid state) have a life expectancy which is calculated by the manufacturer. This number is called the MTBF (Mean Time Before FAILURE and amounts to a guess as to how long on average the hard drive will last before failure. MTBF is also a rating used in the components that are sourced for the manufacturing of the Hard Drive. These guesses are not regulated and are often very generous. Life expectancies vary greatly depending on how good the guesses are of the various manufacturers of the parts included in the drive. It is not uncommon for entire batches of hard drives to have a defect and all of them to fail prematurely. Some sources show that 13% of all hard drives fail in their first year. Your only recourse if you lose the hard drive lottery is an RMA replacement. Any data you did not back up will be gone forever and you will need to reinstall and configure everything or pay someone else to do it for you.

The Truth about Tape
Tape is notoriously unreliable in the data center. This can be primarily attributed to the nature of tape technology, an unsealed, mechanical, and contact type media. A survey noted that 40.7% of I.T. executive respondents had been unable to recover data from tape within the last year. Tape is still an attractive Backup media because it is significantly less expensive to store data on tape and many online backup companies store their backup data once and on tape. Hybir does not ever use tape to backup your data and we store it twice.
Folder based backup
Most online backup companies provide a folder based backup service. These services either backup a few folders you select or try to select all of the important files for you by either their location, their name, or both. Unfortunately this is not an entirely effective way to select files for backup. Your important files can and may be somewhere else. Compounding the issue is that those files aren't the only important files on your computer. Some backup services exclude files that you may want to backup like media files and large files. The reality is most of the files on your computer are important or they wouldn't be there. If those files that are considered unimportant by folder based backup services become lost or damaged your computer may not function correctly or may not function at all. Hybir Backup only does full backups because your whole computer is important.
Other Full Online Backup
There are a few companies out there that offer Full Online Backup. These services generally cater to online businesses and one vendors current pricing (3/20/09) is $1800 a year for 100GB of Backup space. None of them have the performance of the Hybir Backup Technology. Consequently they suffer from an initial backup problem where they must upload all of the data. No one has solved the initial backup upload problem like Hybir has. That problem is so significant most of these companies offer an additional service which will ship an external drive to you. You backup to the external drive and ship it back.
The Performance
Other online backup services send every piece of data at least once. Hybir Backup is different we only send data we have not already backed up. Backing up data we already have is up to a million times more efficient. Real world performance is much less than a million times faster because your computer also has a lot of data we don't already have. Your performance will depend on a lot of different factors. Real world performance has been measured at over 1000x times faster than other services. A full Hybir Backup can even be faster than a local backup in some circumstances.
The Bottom Line
Everyone should backup their whole PC. Your data is either irreplacable, very time consuming to put back, or a combination of both. You are not really backing up your PC if you are just backing up a small subset of files. You should be backing up your whole PC or at least your main drive. No other online backup solution can even come close to the Full Backup performance of Hybir Backup.
* Hybir Backup by default does not backup cache, temp files, or other files that are not needed to fully restore your PC.
