Comments on: Web backup solutions, your help is requested http://blog.everythingflex.com/2008/10/10/web-backup-solutions-your-help-is-requested/ News and Information about Adobe Flex & Adobe AIR by Rich Tretola Wed, 28 Dec 2011 05:30:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Jason Blum http://blog.everythingflex.com/2008/10/10/web-backup-solutions-your-help-is-requested/comment-page-1/#comment-27938 Jason Blum Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:17:21 +0000 http://blog.everythingflex.com/?p=626#comment-27938 I've been using Mozy for last year and a half. Seems to work great though the client is not very intuitive. One concern is that my hard drive fried about five months back and I could either download a backup of my 60 GB of data over about three days OR order DVD's. I was in a rush and chose the latter and they never sent them. Took me three weeks to get a refund, by which time I had managed to recover the data from my HD. So iow - I actually need to look for a new service myself - Mozy seems to work great - though jury still out on how good they are when you really need them, which is of course the whole point of a backup service.

(acts like a simple svn). I use that all the time for uni group projects. dropbox is free (2GB free), you can upgrade for more. And the developers really rock.

My current backup (Picture, movies, project, etc) is 24Gb. and counting... they have no problem with the size... Worth it. btw: it's quite, and un-noticeable! just bought two years of it for $89 I use http://www.carbonite.com
