I discussed on-line backup systems for appraisers a few days ago on Appraisal Scoop. At that time the Webopedia encyclopedia definition of backup was quoted:
(v.) To copy files to a second medium (a disk or tape) as a precaution in case the first medium fails.
While disks and tapes are usually the first things that come to mind in terms of backups, there are other media that might also be useful. Many of our digital devices today are capable of storing large amount of data. For example, our digital cameras have memory cards capable of storing up to 16 GD of data and USB flash drives (thumb drives) have similar capacity - 16GB of data.
But what if I told you there's storage device, that many real estate professionals are already carrying that has even MORE capacity and functionality than those cards and drives? What's THAT you ask? . . . .Your iPod!
That's right . . . Now there's technology that can transform your iPod, USB Hard Drive or Flash drive into a portable and private PC. MojoPac Just install MojoPac on any USB 2.0 compliant storage device, upload your applications and files, modify your user settings and environment preferences, and take it with you.
Every time you plug your MojoPac-enabled device into any Windows XP PC , MojoPac automatically launches your environment on the host PC. Your communication, appraisal , spreadsheet and presentation applications & files are all local and accessible. And when you unplug the MojoPac device, no trace is left behind – your information is not cached on the host PC.
MojoPac allows you to carry applications and files from your office to your home or tradeshow ALL on a device that can fit in your pocket. Imagine being able to access your personal versions of Quicken, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Yahoo Messenger by plugging in your iPod or Flash Drive to any PC anywhere in the world. MojoPac also allows you to keep your home life and your work life separate, but enables you to access both at the same time. How cool is that?!
Here are some of the MojoPac Compatible Devices:
But is MojoPac secure?
According to their web site, MojoPac provides several layers of security and isolation to protect the MojoPac user.
When you connect to a Host PC, MojoPac provides a layer of isolation against viruses from the Host PC, so your MojoPac device is protected.
- MojoPac creates a private environment, so none of your application data and settings, including your browsing and multimedia player history is stored on the Host PC. What happens on MojoPac stays on MojoPac.
- MojoPac is password protected - if you lose your device, no one else can access your applications.
- In addition, data encryption is supported within MojoPac either by add-on encryption software or by using a USB storage device that directly encrypts the data stored on the device. Some USB storage devices even have built-in finger print readers for added security. We recommend using data encryption with every portable storage device.
