Well I am uploading to mozy tonight...and the next 5 days or so. I am hoping to back up a whole bunch of images so I can re-format and re-organize the way I do images. I am amazed at how much space you can take up in such a short time. I thought MP3's were bad, they ain't nothing to a digital photographer! lol.

That sounds good.

I have been using Connected Online backup for several years now. It worked great (again, it's backup, not primary storage). But it was expensive--currently around 16.45 a month for 5GB. But it saved me many times when I've altered a file and then later regretted it (I'm talking about programming files and not images, but same difference). My point is that having a spare copy (or three--connected kept the last three versions of each file) that's automatically backed up is a great feature.

I recently found Mozy backup, free for up to 2 GB, and I now use that for my critical data. Obviously, not good for a lot of files. They also have an unlimited plan for the same price. They compare themselves to Carbonite here.

I have been using it for a few weeks. I have to say that it's significantly slower to backup than Connected was. And there are a couple days it missed due to connectivity issues. But you can't beat the price!


I also use mozy, and use the $5.00/month for unlimited backup. Very nice program. Am happy with it and have about 7gb uploaded.. mostly important doc's and purchased music from itunes. I have photos backed up in two places at home.
