    Default Online Backup Sites

    I have over a hundred videos and tons of photos. Research and site lists. Bookmarks. A years worth of camming stuff that would kill me if my comp suddenly crapped out on me - since ya know, it's my LIFE.

    So, since I had a hard drive crash on me I'm not relaying 100% on them anymore.
    I was thinking of hard copying everything onto DVD's. Though 400GB worth of stuff will take FOR-EV-ER. I'd like to avoid it if possible.

    So I've been looking into Online Backup Sites?

    Mozy and Carbonite seem to be really popular.

    Has anyone tried them before? (Or any other site)

    Pros/Cons?

    And do they have a tiff if content is adult? I'd hate to pay and upload all of my stuff and have it suddenly *poof* from their system because it isn't "appropriate."

    Thanks.

    I'm a hater on *cloud* styled backup methods. First you have to worry about the large amount of bandwidth needed to back up and retrieve your files. Followed by the maintenance costs, the fact that anything saved on the internet has a chance of falling into someone elses hands.

    I'd recommend having at least 2 external hard drives one you keep in office, one kept in a safe external site (ie parents, safe deposit box ect)

    But whatever you go with remember the rule of 3. All data should be saved in 3 different places

    Mozy's cool. I prefer livedrive for massive back ups though, since I can have auto backups from more than one device. Also, if you use wordpress, backupmachine.com is good for backing up your database, files and mysql automatically.

    First, congrats on wanting to do backups! Very few people even think about backing up until they lose a lot of data, so you're ahead of the game!

    I'd say unless you're worried that your roommates are thieves or your house will burn down it's better to get a couple of hard drives and mirror them. I got an empty tower and made it into a raid 5 array. It's not too hard if you have the expertise.

    For online storage I use the Jungle Drive. It's Amazon's thing and it's pretty good and they don't care what your content is. They're pretty cheap, too. I can access them from any computer. I have the USB version so if I bring the USB and I plug it into any computer it'll work.

    Take what Mistress Anika said to hear tho. She's totally right.
