We store our mails on Gmail, post pictures to Flickr, bookmark sites on Delicious, have blogs on Blogger, keep documents in Google Docs and tweet with Twitter.

  1. And you can trust this service and give without doubt all your account information to them?

    Sorry, I don't trust anyone offering this kind of services...

  2. It's really great but is it safe to provide our login details to backupify ? If there is any trust factor then please mention it in the article as well.

  3. Quote from Backupify

    Do you store my usernames and passwords?

    It depends on the service. Most services work like Flickr, Twitter, and Facebook where you authenticate one time through Backupify, and they pass us a "token." This token is a unique identifier that allows us to pull in your data without sending your login credentials. For those services, we do not store your login credentials. There are a few services that don't offer this kind of authentication (Gmail, Hotmail) and for those we have to store your username and password to back them up. When we do that, we use advanced encryption methods to keep your login credentials safe.


    Backupify is as safe as Gmail and Hotmail. I mean, both store your passwords; the only difference is Backupify is a third party service. As long as they don't leak your passwords to others, which I can't see why they would, Backupify is pretty safe.

    If you are worried, don't give your Gmail password. Use this or this to backup your mail and use Backupify to backup Flickr, Twitter etc that doesn't store passwords.

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
