broolz::backup allows you to decide which files and folders are most important to you and store those safely on one or more friends' computers.

The most important thing on your computer is your data. Think about it. Your music collection may be replacable (if you still have all your original CDs and have the time to rip them all again), but the chances are all your photos and much of your downloaded music cannot be replaced. Perhaps you also use your computer to store videos of your children growing up or the final draft of that book it has taken you years to write. Losing this could literally be catastrophic! Yet computer hard disks typically last between three and five years and laptops can be dropped or stolen.

Most people therefore accept the need for some form of backup for their data. Typically, files are backed up to an external disk plugged in to the computer. But if you had a fire or were burgled, that data would be lost forever. Also, you will likely have no way of remotely accessing that data. broolz backup solves all these problems. And did we mention it is free for personal use? So the question should really be - why should you not use broolz-backup?

broolz::backup allows you to decide which files and folders are most important to you and store those safely on one or more friends' computers. As it starts to gather the files to send, broolz-backup encrypts each and every file, file name and directory. All the data, in fact, is encrypted using special mathematics so that, even if they wanted to, your friends would not be able to view the data. To them, it would look like a mass of random numbers. However, if you instructed broolz-backup to get the data back, it would arrive at your computer and be automatically decrypted, so that you could view the files. Of course, you could decide to back up your files to spare computers at home or work, without involving anyone else. Or mix and match, as you see fit. Your cloud Your way!
