Zoogmo offers a way to securely backup personal data and store that data on so called partner computers. Partner computers can be anything from USB devices, network computers or even the computer of your friend that you can access over the Internet. The advantage of this approach is that you backup will be stored in an encrypted form on an external computer so that it remains accessible in the case of a computer crash.
The backups can be scheduled and run automatically in the background. Prior to using the software you need to create an account at the Zoogmo website. Those information are used to encrypt the data that is backed up on your computer which means that if you loose those information the backed up data will be lost.
Zoogmo currently has some limitations. The maximum file size is only 50 Megabytes which might be not enough for users who would like to backup larger files. Since this is currently a beta it is most likely that the limit will be raised in the future.
While Zoogmo is great for creating external secure backups I would suggest to use a combination of True Crypt and an external hard drive if you want to backup your files locally. The advantage of course is that you do not need to connect to the Zoogma server at all before you can access your backups.
Take a look at this video that explains the concept of Zoogmo.

Martin, thanks for telling your readers about Zoogmo. As you noted we are still in beta and as such are working on new features on a regular basis. Maximum file size will indeed go up in a future release. Check us out at http://www.zoogmo.com and start building your backup network!
I also want to tell you and your readers about our brand new Facebook application, “Zoogmo Backup”. Using this application users will be able to let their network of friends know they are looking for backup space on their computers. Down the road we will be adding the ability to remotely monitor and manage your backups by logging into your Facebook account from any computer.
Have a great one!
