Teky's Own Cloud Backup

Teky is always watching for the best Cloud Backup options, and they seem to change every 2-3 years.

I just noticed my old post from 28Sep2010, where Teky switched from selling MozyPro to selling SugarSync.

Then, in early 2012, Teky switched from SugarSync to ElephantDrive. We continue to support our clients on SugarSync, but as of then, we only sold ElephantDrive.

And here we are in Jun2015, and we're switching again. We are proud to announce we have our own branded CANADIAN cloud backup. It is called TekyBackup and it is provided by Canadian Cloud Backup.

We are encouraging all of our cloud backup clients to switch to TekyBackup by offering refined quota levels over SugarSync, and (for a limited time) improved pricing over ElephantDrive. Regular prices will be $0.50/GB/month in increments of 5GB/year, but during the transition, we are offering $0.40/GB/month (a 20% discount) for the first year.

Three ways to "get rid of" Windows 10 notification

1. Customize Taskbar and Hide GWX
2. Uninstall KB3035583 and hide it when it comes up again
3. Create a .REG file with the following, run it, then reboot:
   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX]
   "DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

SugarSync

Attention All Teky Online Backup Clients (and those of you who should be online backup clients)!


Teky is officially switching from MozyPro to SugarSync.


If you want to use SugarSync yourself, please sign up for your free 30-day trial here.

Advantages of SugarSync are:

• It's cheaper:
  - Under 2GB is free!
  - Under 10GB is US$2.49/month or US$24.99/year
  - Under 30GB is US$4.99/month or US$49.99/year
• It's easier to use (e.g. files are marked that have been backed up)
• It has more clients (Windows, Mac, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, etc.)
• It has versioning and nice file-sharing features

Wow, this blog didn't exactly take off

So here we sit, broken-hearted.
Opened a blog, but it didn't get started.
