A back up that works.

With all the talk of backing up web sites, I ran across a great site that backs up your computer. It cost between $3-$4 a month and is stored online. I used to use tape backups but this is so much easier and updates file continually. Here is the site: http://www.carbonite.com/

If this doesn't belong here, move it. Not that I had to tell you that!

Member Since '05	Jay & Francy Thompson REALTORS® said: I agree with Gary, I love Carbonite! It is truly "set it and forget it". Review I wrote back in August: http://www.geekestateblog.com/backup-your-pc-now/ Seriously folks, get a RSS feed reader, subscribe to just a few key blogs and you'll find the information flowing in! Which blogs? Well, maybe that should be a RELib blog post... December 10, 2007 4:16 PM
Member Since '03	Gary Szolosi said: Jay I wish I had read that blog back in August. I have been using a tape system and it is a real pain in .... I heard about this on Laura Ingram's radio show and am really pleased with it. You get 30 days free if you use the promotion code: Laura. I would also recommend read the link Jay has to that blog site about this product. Thanks Jay. December 10, 2007 4:47 PM

I also use Norton Ghost for the laptop. Which really has nothing other than emails on it which for the most part I have started using the webmail offered by P2. I guess it all goes back from being in IT for so long.... either way backups are good :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822111014 December 11, 2007 7:47 AM
Member Since '05	Jay & Francy Thompson REALTORS® said: Lee - Carbonite leaves you in complete control of what does and does not get backed up. It's easy to select files, folders, whatever that you don't want backed up. I knew a guy who backed up his systems religiously. Then one day his house burned down, taking his computers, AND his backups with it. Backing up "offsite", while probably (HOPEFULLY!) never necessary, is a good idea. December 11, 2007 10:21 AM

Member Since '03	Velda Miller said: Ok, signed up for Carbonite on the 10th. It is still working on my initial backup. I know an initial can take a long time but 4 days???? December 14, 2007 11:41 AM
