I am new to this stuff, and I usually work in a Windows environment. What would be the best way for me to secure my files, and make sure I don't lose everything if my computer crashes? I have about 300 gigs of data, and one video file that is 30+ gigs large.
What about online backup (http://www.backupright.com)? But I've also heard
about these products (http://pcbackupreview.com/backupchoices.php) and this one
(http://www.carbonite.com) also work well.
All of your choices are commercial (pay for) solutions. While I was
investigating the same topic, I wrote a page here
http://www.edendevelopments.co.uk/rdiff-backup.php which might give you
a few leads particularly on open source alternatives.
Generally the commercial solutions offer less functionality than the
best open source alternatives, but they are easier to use, there should
be less chance of them going wrong (?) and there is someone else to
blame if they do!
But as a loyal rdiff-backup user I say the best is rdiff-backup
http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/. Of course!
