Checkout iCloud. The image above exemplifies the thought and idea behind this wonderful service.

iCloud is a solution which serves a specific function: letting you access your desktop from anywhere a web-enabled computer is available. All settings are preserved, while documents and icons are accessed using this tool as if you were sitting in front of your desktop at home.

The good thing about iCloud is, you can integrate it with browsers and mobile devices. We have already seen many online backup applications, both paid and free backup applications. But the aspect of iCloud being built on the CLOUD system and the ability to integrate it easily with browsers and mobile devices make it special and unique.

Add to that, the social network capabilities are already built it into iCloud and tools for online collaboration are equally accounted for. This adds more icing to the cake, and it is an aspect that I think should be prioritized. The iCloud desktop is designed to have the same look and feel as traditional windows desktop application but one of major differences is it is running online in the cloud.

Since it is running in the cloud, it can offer you some very impressive features such as easy sharing and real time collaboration, built-in marketplace with availability of free applications and many more.

iCloud is built on Xcerion XML Internet OS/3 (XIOS/3) operating system. XIOS/3 is well known and widely being used in worldwide application developer community. This means that you will have more and more free applications ranging from games, entertainment, personal finance tool, productivity tool and etc being offered in icloud service in short future.

Whether you are at the office, home, or at your friends place, all your files and folders are accessible and shareable at your fingertips. Mount your icloud Cloud Drive as a local hard drive and drag and drop files or folders directly to the cloud, they are then ready to be shared and used.

Features of iCloud online service

• 3 GB free storage space to safely store and backup documents, photos and music online
• 50 free applications and widgets such as Office, Mail, Music,
• Video, Instant Messaging, Games, Collaboration and Development tools.
• Public profile, http://my.icloud.com/username

Are you a parent who is worried about your kid’s usage of mobile phone? If so, My Mobile Watchdog is for you. This is a new mobile application that logs and stores copies of all mobile activity, including text messages, phone calls, e-mails, picture messages and websites accessed. My Mobile Watchdog safeguards your child while using cell phones and immediately alerts you if he or she receives unapproved email, text messages or phone calls. It sends an email every time the child gets a call from an “unapproved” number.

Recent instances of violent cyber bullying and “sexting” has confirmed the need for greater supervision and My Mobile Watchdog is a way for parents to monitor mobile phone use and ensure their children are safe. The software is set to be launched in August 2009 and will be costing $9.95 per month.

Safety at the cost of Privacy?

Its true that many kids fall prey to sexting or other similar habits, but intruding the privacy in such big scale is taking it little too far fetched. They claim that the American police is already using it to catch the pedophiles, but letting it used by parents to keep track of their kids’ each and every activity, doesn’t it amount to human rights violation? What if your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse start using it against you?

We have already seen some of the services which offer online backup of your precious data for FREE! But then most of these Free services come with its own set of limitations like data backup size limit, unavailability of technical support, no guarantee for data backed-up etc.

But then, if you find a service which easily integrates with your Amazon S3 storage account and helps you automate the backup and restore processes, you would obviously get interested. Amazon S3 has proved itself as an inexpensive cloud storage service that you may use for online backup as well as for hosting static resources of your website like web images, Flash video, audio files, etc.

CloudBerry Online Backup is a Windows product that automates backup and restore processes and works with your Amazon S3 storage accounts.

Features of CloudBerry Online Backup

1. Backup wizard helps you to configure a backup plan and start copying your files to cloud storage in a matter of minutes.

2. Restore wizard will guide you through the restore process.

3. Files versioning will create a version of the files every time the file is changed. It will help you to revert to any of the version of the file later. It works closely with Point in time restore feature.

4. Intelligent backup will identify only the files that were modified since the last backup and copy only those files to the storage. This will help to speed up and eliminate excessive storage and transfer fees.

5. Retention policies help you to define for how long to keep a copy of the file in the backup storage and how many versions of the file. It helps to further reduce your storage costs while maintaining the copies of the files.

6. Point in time restore will help you to get a file or the whole folder with file to any point in the past.

7. Backup storage browser is available on Online Backups screen helps you quickly locate a file and restore it. It will be extended with a search function in the future.

8. Encryption capabilities help ensure that only authorized users can access the contents of your backup storage.

Pros and Cons of CloudBerry Online Backup

Pros:

• CloudBerry Online Backup is highly reliable. CloudBerry Labs are known for quality products and moreover its based on Amazon S3, which is an excellent online storage service.
• Cloudberry Online Backup interface is extremely easy to use. It comes with a simple-to-use wizards for both backup and restore.
• Option to use additional tools provided by Amazon S3.
• The whole interface is written using .NET framework and hence CPU and resources usage management is stable.
• Microsoft’s implementation of encryption algorithms ensure that the data transfer is secure and safe.

Cons:

• The product is still in beta. Even though the company has clarified that this is an extended beta in order to gain more feedback and popularize the product before the actual launch, the “beta” tag still makes people to think again.
• Currently, CloudBerry Online backup is available for Windows only (Win XP and Vista).
• No Windows 7 & Windows 2000 support as well.
• No file sharing allowed.

Conclusion

CloudBerry Online Backup is surely a great product to test out. I believe that it matches in functionality with more established vendors like Mozy if not beat them. With the full version scheduled to be released anytime soon, it makes sense to try it out right now.

Cloudberry Online Backup is currently in beta and hence its free to use. Also note that all beta testers will get a FREE commercial license when the product is out!
