OK.. I understand most of what you are saying but it is a lot to digest. I know it will sink in later on. Your writing is concise and to the point. By the way, AOL Xdrive will close Janurary 12, 2009 – How to Backup Files » tek was a great choice for a title.

I too lost a ton of photos and songs I had recorded in the great XDrive massacre of 09. No e-mails from AOL, just the realization when I signed in earlier this year that everything I love was destroyed. I think I missed it by a couple of months. I have no lawyer, but I’ll team up with anyone who wants to spread their outrage somehow.

who has the time to start the lawsuit? who has easy access to a lawyer? and deidre, what do you mean about videos for this discussion?

Have you ever thought of putting videos for your website articles to have the visitors even more entertained? What i’m saying is I just read through the entire article of yours and it had been pretty great but because I’m more of a visual learner, I found that way to be way more useful. well, let me know what you feel.

who is willing to spearhead a class action lawsuit to AOL to recover our XDRIVE files? If AOL cannot, we should collect damages. I never got an email from AOL about the closing of XDRIVE and I too had files and photos on it. I am very angry. dannybarrett@wideopenwest.com

I never received either an email… I’ve used xdrive for sometime as backup… Big problem: my external hard disk was damaged and I thought I could find some private pictures stored on xdrive… I’m quite disgusted too I must admit… Nothing to do, no one responsible… Incredible

Incredible, I never got any mail about its closing and today I find that I lost 10 years of backed up data. And the most incredible thing is that they suggest where to backup (loose) your files. On line backup is as safe as a 3 ½ inch floppy, sic.

Why would anyone depend on an AOL product as there only source for the files? i used it as a backup only. my only concern is that my files WERE properly destroyed if I can no longer acess them!. What kind of clown service would just do this btw? I would never use any other service that even associates with xdrive. use mozy or carbonite and save yourself. Way cheaper than the ones listed on xdrive and more mainstream.

AOL sent emails???? My bloody @rse. Im so disgusted at them and xdrive…..a simple email from them never mind aol would have sufficed. I have lost years of photo’s that I put online on it. I am so disgusted by the whole thing.
