Comment on Backupify by Mosh

No prizes for guessing who Tracy works for! However, it’s always good to have options.

I went with Backupify because they cover a wide array of services for free and with a fairly generous amount of storage space. However, unlimited Google storage for free could be useful especially if it includes Picasa – my Backupify account is near its limit as I’m using it to back up my Flickr pictures!

One thing that I liked about Backupify was its WordPress backup, but they’ve discontinued that. So I may well check out SysCloud.

I’ve used SysCloudSoft’s on premise backup and found it very useful. The software provides a backup for unlimited Google Apps data with a single click.Scheduled incremental backups are also possible every 1 hr. The software is secure with 512 bit encryption and users can view their emails in Outlook or Thunderbird.

The best advantage is that personal users can backup unlimited Google Apps Data for FREE – Gmail, Google Docs,Contacts,Calendar,Sites. For businesses it starts at $399

Comment on National Van Hire – 6-page complaint by Mosh

Hey Steve – if you made the deposit via a credit card, contact your issuer. They may be able to refund it and chase the van hire mob up themselves. Failing that, small claims court is an option especially given that they’ve admitted they should have returned the cash already. It doesn’t cost much to make a claim and if they admit liability (which they already have) even without going to court then they also have to refund your fees.

I hired a van from these robbers on 20th january.
They dropped then van off 5hrs earlier than i asked, then picked it up 2 days later than arranged.
The problem is the security deposit of £250 which they have decided to pocket for themselves.
Having rang them several times and sent numerous emails, i finally recieved an email on 29th january appologising and stating that my deposit had been reprocessed back to my account and would clear in 72 hours.
Six days later and i’m still out of pocket.
I’ve sent threats of legal action etc but i guess they are getting used it on a daily basis.
I have actually contacted BBC watchdog and made enquiries through the trading standards website.
I’m gonna wait and see what happens but think my next step will be the small claims court.
I’m actually tempted to pay a visit to their office in Leicester, they may be a bit more forthcoming when they meet me in person!

Always happy to be corrected! Thanks, Greg – I’ll update the post (and the Biohazard one which refers to it).

Sorry to correct you mate, but you missed The JB Conspiracy, who were the openers. You caught Orange, who were the ones who got boo’d off stage.

Andy, sorry to hear your story (as with everyone) but thanks for adding it to the list. Hopefully this will keep my page fairly high in the Google ranks and people will see it *before* they fork out money to this useless bunch!

Hired a van over the phone on the Monday for ‘drop off’ the next Saturday. Got a call back a day or two later saying that they won’t be able to drop off after all because it was a Saturday – but could give it about £60 cheaper if i could pick it up myself. Fair enough.
Then i was called 1 day before to say they didn’t even have the van that was promised !
After they offered a full refund (£770 including deposit) I gladly accepted, even though it messed up my moving plans all together for our family for that weekend.
3 weeks later, still no refund.
An email later i got a reply in broken english saying it would be looked into straight away.
Another week later no answer.
Another telephone call, only to be told it would be sorted out.
2 weeks later I went to the bank to sort it out and had to fill in some paperwork to say what had happened etc.
Now, today i have finally recieved my money back from Visa which they now will recover from the cowboy firm.
Luckily I paid via credit card as they have insurance aginst fraudsters like these.
Had i paid by debit card or something similar, I doubt very much I would have seen the colour of my money again and would have had to chase them through the small (?) claims court like plenty of others have had to from what i’ve now read from various other review sites.
Wish i’d checked those beforehand – It seems like you have to these days unfortunately.
P.S. And allways a crap attitude on the other end of the telephone to top it all.

And it’s not often anyone will say they miss the 90′s… until you realise how much *decent* music was pumped out at the time, buried by the commercial dross.
