Backup your Data from Computer or Laptop

Keep it secret, Keep it safe.

A few weeks ago another USB stick went  through the washing machine and the dryer, more  stress, all of my stuff on this 4GB stick, this was a very scary time. The case was damaged just like last time but I was able to retrieve the data and still using it broken.  I need to stop playing at backing up and just do it.

Now I looking for an online backup solution. This will save me one day. Prices will be something that I can afford, cheap or free that is. F eatures need to include encrypted storage, and open file backup support. The remote backup space should be at least 4 GB, without any backup and restore restrictions or bandwidth limits or file type restrictions. More freatures I want are automated, hands-free, automated, remote backups of me files and/or folders. Easy drag n drop using Windows Explorer like interface.

Data Center needs to be a reliable World-class infrastructure, no downtime with advanced secure data encryption.

Here is a list of some that I have narrowed it down to:

Ibackup.com
10 GB  $10/month

20 GB  $20/month

50 GB  $50/month

more $1 a GB
–

idrive.com
2  GB    FREE
50 GB      $10/month
100 GB     $20/month
500 GB     $50/month

–

carbonite.com
This one has been marketed very well, too well I could not get on the site to check priceing and storage.

–

Mozy.com
2 GB       FREE/Month
Unlimited  $5/Month

–

Box.net
2 GB (*est. $3/month)

5 GB (*est. $8/month)

15 GB (*est. $20/month)

Notice the prices on idrive.com
Mozy.com has good pricing also.

I will now give them a test to free myself of the gig stick.

    Why not buy a 500G hard drive for $100. Seems cheaper, right? I have to do this soon.

    Alison, thank you so much for the price info, I thought with all the great marketing you have done lately on Rush’s radio and Glenn Beck radio you just had so many people signing up, that was why I could not get to your website. I tried different times over day and your server was busy. Could not get on it.

    Thanks again for the pricing information.

    Natural, yes you are correct that a hard drive is cheaper. The problem I have, is do not use the same computer all the time, PC here, laptop there, I need a central point for storing my data that is why I have been using a stick.

    Now If I had a very small 500GB harddrive say size of a credit card would be nice
