Virgin Media: Backup & Storage
No one likes losing things. That's why we've come up with a service that lets you back up the most precious stuff you store on your computer. Once your files are backed up, you can access them anywhere with an Internet connection.
Not only that, you can share stuff with family and friends, and print photos for free. Genius!
Backup and Storage comes with all Virgin Media cable and National broadband services and it works on both PCs and Macs (but unfortunately the Backup App is not compatible with Mac OS Lion 10.7).
Backup
Install it once and choose the folders and files you'd like to back up, like emails, photos, or music. Each time you add something new or make a change, we'll automatically back them up. All your files are stored securely online, so you can access them anytime, from any computer you like.
Storage
While Backup is automatic, storage lets you manually upload individual files to a safe and secure space online – it's like an online USB stick. You can organise your files into folders and even share them with friends and family. Whether it's your holiday snaps or your favourite video clips, you can let the whole gang take a peek..
Photos
Backup & Storage doesn't just let you store and share your pictures - you can print up to 100 photos each month for free (you just pay the postage). Upload your photos, choose which ones you'd like to print and our partner, Snapfish, will deliver them to your door. You can also edit your photos too and create great gifts for your friends and family.
