Background information, SpiderOak is an on-line backup utility that stores your data on ‘the cloud’ so in the event of a hardware failure, accidental deletion or catastrophe you have a versioned back-up copy. Two of the coolest things are that the data is stored encrypted in a zero knowledge environment (SpiderOak can’t read your data), and you can back-up multiple PCs with a single, shared account.
Today, the latter of the two features turns out to be awesome….
While trying to get some work done a particular Death Cab for Cutie song came into my head that I wanted to jam to. I went to my Blackberry and to my dismay I didn’t have it on there. Sulking, I began to work on updating my Program Governance Plan (boring I know).
Seconds later I remembered SpiderOak! I opened the utility, browsed to our home computer’s music file, found the album I wanted to listen to and downloaded it. And shazam! – I’m rocking out to Death Cab.
