Mozy - Online Backups
I've always been careful about making backups and I was just recently talking to a friend about how our memories, records and purchases are now in digital format: photos, music, home videos, movies, tax records, accounting records, etc. I believe that a good backup strategy is essential and, in addition to making local and off-site hard disk and DVD-based backups I've been happily using Mozy to make online backups. I get to manage my own encryption key and I've been a happy customer for more than 2 years. I started with the Free Mozy just to try it out and now I have almost 500GB backed-up. Once in a while I'll try some restores just to make sure it's working and I've never had a problem. Backing up 500GB can be pretty slow but they don't seem to throttle my backups and with my Comcast internet I seem to get about 1 Mbs up which is pretty good! I highly recommend them: Mozy Unlimited Backup - $4.95/Month
