[Hidden-tech] Online backup for video production

[Stefan Gonick]

Hey Everyone,

I did some more research and found a service that looks good: SOS 
Online Backup.
They have unlimited storage, fast upload, backs up open files, and they got an
Editor's Choice award at PC Mag. In fact, PC Mag has a link in their 
review that gets
you 25% off.

It looks good!
