Is there any other provider that backs up drives??? But allows you to backup the drive of your choice.

I took the one year subscription on blaze, but to my surprise, they insist on including the c:\ drive. I have no interest in backing up that drive and it eats bandwidth and wastes time.

Sure, Google Drive.

Unfortunately, it simply won't make a 'restore' copy. It's just a nice little drive out there on the cloud.

For me it just replicates a folder on my D drive - which must be named Google Drive

I had no idea the cost came down so much. Backblaze still cheaper. But I cant deal with their workflow. It takes forever to upload from here. Bandwidth isnt all that great. Think i'll work with the 1tb for now. Thanks

$800 per month... I'd build a mini-hardened bunker for hard drives under my basement first. :-O

It is frightening for me to try to imaging what else might go on in a bunker under Slippy's house.

A teenage foursome, according to most DPC readers, based on limited, sketchy information. ;-)

Involving horseheads, gorilla suits, chainsaws and wooden furniture. Likely along with a Marsh pick and Estwing rock hammer. Followed up with dollar store home pregnancy tests.

Buy an external drive, use Paragon for your backups. The free version works perfectly. Will do the full boot sectors, individual drives, differential, etc.

CrashPlan+ is awesome and you can backup network drives as well. They have several different plans available but the best one for the consumer is the family plan. You get up to 10 computers, unlimited storage, and its $13.99US a month. If you want just one computer its only $5 a month.

Be fore warned if you have a lot of data to backup it will take several days for the initial upload, but after that its on a great schedule.
