Everyone knows that backup is very important. Remote or online backup is the only way to be sure you’re completely covered. Cucku Backup is the FREE and complete solution that lets friends and families help each other out with offsite backups.
It is fairly easy to use Cucku. Once the download has completed, run CuckuBackupSetup to get started. Cucku first makes a local backup and then automatically creates and sends an encrypted copy of your data offsite to your backup partner for safekeeping.
In most cases, if you accidentally delete a file or folder or your hard drive dies, you can restore your files from the local backup Cucku created for you. If the worst happens and your precious files are lost to fire, theft, natural disaster, or a virus your remote backup ensures that you can recover your files from your partner.
Cucku backs up locally every day while you are not using your computer. It then sends a remote backup to your partner. If you change a file Cucku only sends the parts that are different so that your remote backup will complete as quickly as possible.
Cucku uses Skype to backup to a friend. You can install Skype from www.skype.com – like Cucku, it’s easy and free.

* Cucku Backup requires Windows XP or Vista
Interesting. While this is a nice idea, it is preposterous as a secure backup strategy.
very Useful!
Interesting! I just now heard about it. But I think we must choose trusted partner in case our data is private.
This is becoming popular as a service offering. I would question the uptake level. Given that online backup prices have fallen through the floor, this seems a complicated and risky way to save a few bucks. I could be wrong but I believe that the type of user who goes through the complicated process of configuring this just to save a few dollars will not be expected to be easily converted in to a paying client no matter what premium services are offered. Logmein are in this market with logmein backup and they are a blue chip company. Hard to compete with them on a free product basis.
We wait and see.
