Acronis True Image 2013 has a built-in interface for online backup, 250gb for $49.99 yr. and 30 day free trial. I keep copies on a local external hdd and am currently trialing their online backup. Works pretty good so far.
Didn't vote, no option for "None".... I back up to local internal and external drives regularly.... don't want my data on anyone's servers etc....
I vote none,only time id use anything cloud would be for the same reason i use free email places. so as to file and forget garbage, it has its uses at times and anything i use that topic for i consider public Territory and it is by law in the us. ------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Computing makes your Cloud Data subject to American law Since most of the major Cloud Computing servers are operated by companies based in the United States, data you put on your Cloud is subject to American law. And the American law in turn, is subject to overrides, loopholes, “Patriot Acts,” and exceptions, depending on which governmental agency (or which person/interest) wants your data. You may not even be informed that your data was compromised for the same reason Jack Bauer gets away with torturing his hostages/prisoners (national security). And before reaching the Cloud, your data will pass through American ISPs that provide the Cloud with uptime. It could be intercepted by State Agencies even before it reaches the Cloud. A case point is that of Amazon Web Services, a flagship of the cloud computing model. Amazon Web Services quietly booted whistleblowing website Wikileaks off their cloud computing servers. This was done without any court order. Looks like Amazon Web Services is also a flagship of the American government. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/governments-attack-cloud-computing http://www.techtangerine.com/2009/06/02/ten-reasons-why-cloud-computing-is-a-bad-idea/
No backup on line for me. I've been using for years 'ADrive' (free plan up to 50GB unencrypted) and lately Google Drive to store data that is not personal, Wuala as well but not that much. ADrive http://www.adrive.com/ Google Drive https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/drive/start/index.html
I use both Jungledisk, and Idrive. I use them for redundancy as well as local backup. I use both as they give me geographic redundancy as well as encryption ability, plus different approaches to versioning. Pete
I have used Idrive for years and added CrashPlan about a year ago. I think I will be using only CrashPlan in the future as it runs lighter on my laptops.
I did not vote. No option for None. I do not use an on-line backup service, everything done on external HDD. G
I don't, but now I know it's possible I will. I've always loved the idea of storing my data with someone I don't know at all, but thought of it as a dream unable to come true. I will try to figure out which one I know least about, upload everything, throw away that nuisance called external drive and then vote. Heck, maybe I'll upload to them all!
after trialling 6 or so products, i decided on Copy www.copy.com made by the the folks at Barracuda Networks so they use their own in house storage platform and not Amazon online storage which is what most online backup companies use e.g, dropbox sign up link- we both get 5GB extra free
Why not when you can control what (encryption/steganography) is uploaded when (any time it's online), where (any viable site), and how (HTTPS/mobile/sync)? Especially if that server is your encryped offshore site. Personally, I have no preference. I use ADrive, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, and Ubuntu One.
I have used Mozy for years and absolutely love it. Not only does it do a nightly online backup, it also backups (at the same time) a second copy to my external HD. Mind you, these are file backups. In addition to Mozy's backups, I also use AX64 and Macrium Reflect Pro. (Yes, I'm a little paranoid about backing up my PC.....)
I dropped IDrive and I am now using Wuala for some important stuff, then BitCasa for other less valuable things. The good point of Bitcasa is the sync among pc's and phones. I am also trying to sign up with COpy.com but currently it seems impossible...I get an error message.
None. My server backs everything up just fine, and I don't have to worry about who else is backing it up.
What I vehemently distrust are the corporate policies surrounding these online backup systems. They are a business, and businesses are bought and sold all the time. A couple of non-favorable boardroom decisions or legal action and your stuff is gone.
Windows SkyDrive? That's so last week. The new name is Microsoft OneDrive. But to answer the question, none currently. I use a dual-hard drive external enclosure in a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration. I am definitely researching the purchase of a Synology NAS enclosure, though... perhaps the Synology DS1513+. As I am outgrowing my external mirrored drive capacity, and the Synology DiskStations have some amazing features.
