[Hidden-tech] Backup: Memeo vs. Carbonite ?

[Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill]

Ed,

Carbonite actually has the option to upgrade to a version that supports
image backup to a local drive in addition to backing up online.  The image
backup they offer is very cool, because it lets you restore a full image
copy of your PC including OS + Programs, more quickly, from a local disk.
I would say running both is likely the culprit. The more you can limit to
having one application per task, the better the PC will run.  Multiple
location backup is great, but too many programs causes bloat.
