Online Backup

[Stevo808]

Hello fellow techies!

I was wondering who uses online backup services like mozy or carbonite and how do you like it? Just wondering because i was going to build me a server for a full backup solution which is allot more funner to me but just a hassle running out of space and purchasing new HD's.

Give your opinions so i can make a choice what to go with. Thanks!!

online backups will be the future for all companies in a few years, mark my words.
Cloud computing is the future. Hardware costs are shared, backups are provided and disaster recovery is at it's best.

Seems to be but does anyone here use it and like it?

i think you would get mixed reviews about each. i've read good and bad reviews from both.

the link below shows a post comparing 3 diff services.

I was going to try idrive. mainly cus i just want to drop files in a folder and have them copied to a second location. idrive was the first vendor that appeared in a yahoo search.
