Is anyone on this forum who has entrusted his data with an online backup company? Those with whom you can backup your PC from anywhere, access your data from anywhere? I have some queries from a colleague on this backup method, but I've never used any such. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Hello Evans, Which providers do you recommend? How would you deal with a situation where the total backup data is more than 30GB? I have some workmates who are looking into using online backups, capable of doing sync via the Internet. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Sorry, www.dropbox.com
I have used them for personal backup and online filesharing and they are good. Meanwhile, this might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_backup_services

Looks interesting! Suppose I wanted to backup .pst files online, using them for instance, will their system know how to handle that? Hmm, perhaps to them it's just a regular file... -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Dropbox hits the nail on the head. Seamless performance and rapid online updates for files without hogging your bandwidth - and 2GB free....I'm impressed! On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

I dont know about this, but once you download their application, It allows
you to select folders that will be synchronised on your comp, their server and other PCs. any new file in the folder is synchronised at all locations. e.g. If you choose to synchronise "/home/user/baqckup" , Any new file created at ~backup/ will be uploaded and any missing files at the server will be downloaded.
