AllFacebook.com: New App Offers Complete Facebook Profile Backup

October 19, 2011

AllFacebook.com asks a very important question:

What if you suddenly lost access to all of the photos, videos, status updates, wall posts, friends’ information, and other data on your Facebook account?

At SOS, we thought this was a pretty important question, so we came up with a solution to address it. 8 million Facebook users have in the past been locked out of their accounts or their accounts had been hacked, and the data compromised. Our newest edition of SOS Online Backup backs up your entire digital life, protecting all of your data on Facebook and consequently protecting your friends.

The things that you can do in SOS Social Backup include:

  • Speedy, simple setup (we signed up in seconds and received an email about our first successful backup in minutes);
  • Customize settings and choose which elements of Facebook profiles to back up, and when;
  • You can view your backup history and restore profiles to any of the saved dates or times;
  • Go back and look at what your Facebook profile looked like at any backup point (Shaw called it “a time machine for Facebook”);
  • Generate a backup.html file, which is a fully contained package of the full versions of all files from users’ Facebook profiles;
  • Convert friends’ information into .vcf Outlook contact files; and
  • Recover all files into a second Facebook account.

You can backup your Facebook by visiting SOSOnlineBackup.com/Facebook.

ZDnet: Backup your Facebook Account with this new SOS app

October 14, 2011

ZDnet just let loose it’s article about SOS Online Backup! ZDnet, your trusted technology source, covers SOS’s new Social Backup component. You are storing information about your friends, prized memories and photos, and contact information on your Facebook profile, aren’t you? We here at SOS sure are, and we wanted to create a product that protects that information.

Emil Protalinski at ZDNet writes:

SOS Online Backup, a company that provides cloud backup and data protection, has released a new version of its offering that protects your entire digital life: iOS and Android mobile devices, an exclusive Facebook backup app, and the latest PC and Mac platforms. Obviously the middle one is what I’m most interested in.

SOS Social Backup, the new Facebook backup app, lets you backup and protect your profile data, including all of your friends, contact info, pictures, wall posts, and other account information. Once you’ve set it up, you can browse or restore any of the saved information.

Considering how much personal data people are uploading to Facebook these days, it makes sense to have a backup solution. What if Facebook loses all of your data somehow? What if a malicious hacker (or “friend”) decides to delete a bunch of your content? What if you want to save your data in order to switch to another social network? SOS Social Backup is supposed to be your answer to all these questions.

SOS recognizes that people spread their data over multiple devices. It’s our job to help you protect your data, no matter where it is.

“Consumers today have their data spread out over multiple devices and scattered around the web on social networks,” SOS Online Backup CEO Ken Shaw said in a statement. “SOS backs up your entire digital life, providing the first truly all-in-one solution for the everyday protection of your important information, photos, videos, documents and any other digital content. Offering free options for simple backup and Facebook, as well as customizable solutions for any individual or business, SOS can work for anyone.”

Computerworld: SOS Online Backup launches cloud backup for Facebook, devices

October 14, 2011

Computerworld shared our newest announcement with the world yesterday: the introduction of backup for your entire digital life, including Facebook. In addition to Facebook backup, one of SOS’s best features is free unlimited archiving. In case you hadn’t thought about why it’s so important to back up multiple versions of your data, and not be charged for it every time, Computerworld and SOS CEO Ken Shaw offered some clarity:

Perhaps the biggest differentiator that the company pitches is that is offers “file versioning” in the cloud, or the ability to get multiple versions of a file based on when changes were made to it. Users are able to roll back in time to as many versions as they want, similar to what users can do locally on Apple’s Time Machine backup utility.

“For businesses this is extremely powerful,” Shaw said. “Regulations like [the Sarbanes-Oxley Act] require companies in some industries to keep archives for up to seven years. Those features are free with us.”

PC Mag: SOS Online Backup Adds Facebook Backup

October 13, 2011

PCMag.com covered our announcement of our newest SOS Online Backup version. They (like us and a lot of you) are quite excited about our Facebook app!

Check out their article here: SOS Online Backup Adds Facebook Backup

What’s the motivation for these new offerings? “We’re seeing more and more of our users’ data sitting in different spots,” said Shaw. “A lot of data is starting to accumulate in mobile devices and in various cloud accounts, with Google Apps and Facebook being in the lead. With version 5, we’ve got solutions for all of that data.”

With so many people storing so much personal data on Facebook these days, it makes sense to have some insurance against losing all of it in the case of hacking. Or you may just move to a new social network platform some day and want to take the Facebook content with you. SOS Social Backup is tailor made for these cases. It backs up your Friends, photos, wall posts, messages, and video. After you’ve set it up, you can browse or restore any of the saved information.

 

Of course, you can always download a free trial for home users at our website SOSOnlineBackup.com.
