Also, compare that $5/month to the cost of an external USB hard drive. A quick search turned up a 500GB drive for $120, which is what you would have paid after 2 years with that service. As long as the drive lasts longer than 2 years, it's less expensive as well as more convenient.
To get the same or similar security benefits of an off-site backup service, store the external drive somewhere else (office, friend's house, relative's, etc.) in between backups. Don't do like some people and plug it in to the same power strip next to your computer, where it is subject to the same threats of theft, fire, flood, electrical spike, etc. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36938 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
