The software itself is among the easiest to use in the business and offers many different ways to manually or automatically backup your data.

SOS's shell integration is one such method that utilizes the familiar right-click method to select a file(s) or folder(s) you want to backup, and choose the “Protect with SOS” option to add them to the list of files that you would like backed up. You can also choose to use the drag and drop method to select the files and folders to be backed up, or, if you would like, you can even backup the entire PC or Mac.

The last option can be a lengthy process, especially after you consider the time it takes for the SOS software to encrypt all the files you have selected. However, once the initial backup has been completed, SOS Online Backup will continue monitoring the files and/or folders you selected and automatically make incremental backups to any files and folders that have changed in any way.

Perhaps one of the best features of all is that you can access all your important data from anywhere in the world–all you need is a web browser and an Internet connection. And if that's not enough, you can even make individual files available for your colleagues, clients, friends and family members to download with a single mouse click.

SOS Online Backup's wizard-style interface is another great feature that gives you a visual, step-by-step process that allow even the most technically challenged computer user to backup their crucial data just like a pro within minutes—simply and securely . SOS even allows you to install their easy-to-use software on any number of computers you wish using one account.

 It doesn't get any easier than that!
