But I don't see the need of legal actions around such a thing.

hmm, though I question, who decided that is a the world backup day, its still is clear that it doesn't matter much, just like many other XYZ days that I don't follow. But I don't see the need of legal actions around such a thing.
I had some trouble with scammy companies and I wanted to protect people from thinking we were endorsing them. That's all
Is it worth buying a few extra terabytes to backup? I simply don't have enough free space to even begin backing anything up.
They offer a 30-day trial. If you try it, like it enough and are willing to wait, they often have promotions for the first year (for Black Friday last year, it was a tiered discount depending on how early you signed up).

It was an idea from a reddit thread. I getting hammered in this thread, and I don't if anyone can see this. but the Backupify thing was a misunderstanding. It's okay to use World Backup Day!

I can freaking declare this as the 'LOVE RIKA DAY' :P who cares about it anyway? if someone does, then good!
I wonder if this would be a good time to mention that I think I've got my new open-source snapshot backup tool (up on Github) ready for a larger testing audience? I'm a bit nervous about promoting it too widely until I'm sure that it is stable enough, but if anyone wants to test it in a non-critical setup, I'd appreciate any feedback.

ah then its okay, don't worry if someone says BS about you. As long as you are right in your place, stay confident. It will only hurt, if you take it that way, just don't. I can freaking declare this as the 'LOVE RIKA DAY' :P who cares about it anyway? if someone does, then good!

I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is. Didn't you issue a trademark on a community created idea and then hire a lawyer to enforce it? even if that lawyer made moves not authorized directly by you, this whole incident has a bad taste to it.
I just didn't want people to mess up their computer because they downloaded something that seemed to be endorsed us (fyi, we don't endorse anyone). That's all.
