| [Security] Opinions on Online Backup Looking for some suggestions on online backup. I have 2 computers (1pc and 1 mac).
-The mac has all data on an external drive (approx. 200 gigs of data). This has mainly client files.
-Pc has all my photos from the beginning of time  (total drive space is 550 gig).
Both these drives are data only. I still have the boot drive from both to consider also.
Thanks in advance! |

Time Capsule?
Oh.... 1 windows box. CrashPlan is ok but slow.
Maybe get a little Drobo SAN? |

I use time machine at home and have crashplan as my off-site backup. It also supports backing up of external drives. |

i tried carbonite for a year, and i do not recommend them. Their software support for Macs ain't that great, plus if you plan to backup audio/video stuff or have lots of photos then get ready to be frustrated. The software slows down the computer to a crawl. |

CrashPlan has been best for me. Like all the services, the first pass takes time. Now, totally seamless and works well in the background. |

Although Dropbox is limited to 2GB for free, they do have paid plans.
I use the free Dropbox, Time Machine, and the external hard drives method of backing up my multi-terabyte stuff. I am currently using ChronoSync to automate my backups on a daily and weekly basis, while TM is doing my hourly backup of my user folder.

I happen to use jungledisk for my online backups. However, I back up far less than 750 GB. $0.125 per GB per Month will run you around $95 a month. Backing up to a TC or another external drive won't be much help if your house gets nuked. |

said by Mike:Time Capsule?
I have 2 3TB Time Capsules on my network, one backs up the iMac, the other backs up the Macbook Air. My only issue is I don't have an off-site backup, and Time Machine does not play well with multiple time-machine drives.
I was looking for an online backup system too, but at 8Mb up, it would take too much time to backup a TB (and growing) of data. I also have a fair amount of discomfort putting all my data on someone else's server.
In my old Linux days, I would simply cut a tape archive and store the tapes off site, the tar could span multiple tapes, so capacity was never a problem.
Perhaps when someone comes out with a thunderbolt tape drive, I will have another look at off-site backups.
