At the end of last year, Amazon launched AmazonSmile and invited registered charities to join. Backup has now become one of AmazonSmile’s recipients, which makes it easy for you to support your favourite technical entertainment charity without it costing you a thing.

Here’s how it works: each time a customer shops at smile.amazon.co.uk Amazon donates a 0.5% of the net purchase price of the eligible products. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but it all adds up and in the first four months, in the US alone, Amazon donated $69 million. And there’s no additional cost or charge to either customers or charities. 

If you want to support backup through AmazonSmile, simply go to smile.amazon.co.uk (or click on the button below) and type backup in the ‘pick your own charitable organisation’ window.

Once you’ve done that and updated your bookmarks to make sure you always go through smile.amazon.co.uk, every time you buy something through Amazon, you’re helping backup to help your industry friends who need it.
