Zovo Online Backup Launched

I have been pretty busy lately and have not had a chance to talk about the fact that zovo online backup launched. I mentioned them previously when they were creating some buzz on Twitter by offering free accounts. I had received an invitation for a free account but unfortunately was away when the invites came out and missed out on signing up. If you were like me and missed out or want to give zovo online backup a try there is still a way to get a free account, just check out their zovo social sign up page and agree to spam invite three of your Facebook friends and you can have a free account.

Since I missed out on my free account invite I tried the social signup and was able to create a free zovo backup account. If you want a pro account you will have to pay.

Since I had a free account I thought I would take the service and software for a quick test. Downloading and installing was easy enough. It was pretty obvious that dispite all of the buzz that zovo created they are only just a Livedrive reseller. They have done a decent job of rebranding Livedrive but in the end they are simply reselling Livedrive.

If you are interested in learning more about Livedrive you can read my Livedrive review. If you need a free account you might want to look at zovo, but I would not rely on your free account for critical backups. Might be just the thing for students off to college and university in the fall.

I might still do a full review of zovo at some point, but since they are a Livedrive reseller I will be looking at other non-reseller services first. Below are some screenshots of zovo when I installed it.
