Dell is shutting its online backup and storage service, and DellData Safe customers have a year to move their stuff or lose it, according to the DataSafe web site. The company will continue to offer Dell Backup and Recovery and is steering customers in that direction.
The company could not be reached for comment, but the realm of online backup is hotly contested. And Dell, now privately held, has indicated it will focus on core businesses.
Other online backup options include iDrive, Backupify, Carbonite and EMC's(s emc) Mozy. Many users also use Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive as their defacto backup sites.
