I've been using Mozy (http://mozy.com/) for a year or two and it works great. They have a Mac version now as well. As with most of these things it runs quietly in the background. They have put a lot of focus on security too (i.e. how best to encrypt all of your data). You can store 2GB for free or pay $4.95/month for unlimited storage. They also landed a deal to handle back up for all of GE's computers (that's a lot of machines), so they should be around for a while. -Mike Dan Kirsch wrote: > ** The author of this post was a Good Dobee. > ** You too can help the group > ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. > ** If you did, we all thank you. > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Here's hoping that some Hidden Techies who are techier than I (which > is probably everyone) can provide some guidance to me on the options > for an online storage service to back up my hard drive files.
