The iiNet 'vault' has a reasonable price (starting at $5/month, for Greg Keogh volumes). Also, traffic (up/down) is free if you're an iiNet subscriber. I've never tried it. It would be the way the backup and maintenance works that I would be looking at. Maybe there are some screen pics or a video there. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia

They do - http://www.iinet.net.au/online-vault/ Not sure how it compares though; not a cloud-hater, but I personally hate the idea of having to separate my stuff between 'important backed up to the cloud' and 'not so important, backed up elsewhere' due to bandwidth limits. > On 1 June 2011 09:14, Corneliu I.
