Old commercial

There's a commcercial that I remember, I have no idea how old it is, an I can't remember the company that did it, but it was educating people on the importance of data backup. There were like two or three of them in circulation, one in particular was like

"Here's Bob, bob is enjoying a nice relaxing day in his pool."
*We see a man in an inflatable tube and relaxing in his pool, when suddenly a huge great white shark ciomes up from beneath him and eats him whole.
*We see Bob reappear in the pool, exactly as before
"Wow, this family's lucky they had a backup of Bob"

And then proceeds to tell you about data backup services by said company...


Anyone know where I can find those commercials at?

    I have no idea about the commercial, but it would probably help if you gave at least a guess as to when you saw it, and what country you saw it in. I'm assuming the U.S., but just to make sure...

    I'm pretty sure it was the late 90's maybe 2000 or 2001, I can't remember if it was here in the US or in Canada. I wanna say here in the US. The cmmercial may have aired as late as 2003.... They were hilarious commercials though.
