Have you heard of myotherdrive.com? I just found out about them. I like the idea of backing up my files online for increased safety. But is this safe after all? What do you think?
 
Never heard of it. Personally, I'd much rather use an external hard drive for backups. Or better yet, use RAID on your system.

To be honest I rarely backup any files. I just can't be bothered ^^
 
All my life's work is on my computer and I don't know what I would do if I were to lose those files. That is why I backup regularly.

Rebit seems nice, but MyOtherDrive gives 2GB free account and it offers automatic backup software for free.
 
External hard drive would be a easy way of backing your data up, or maybe use a slave drive and they are easy to install.

Yes i have and actually im going to purchasing the 1TB for 240/year because of great price and to back up my clients files! :p

Btw...
I talked to them they have quick support seems to be outstanding so far! I will write review as soon as i use them for at least 2-4 months!
 
I never heard about the file hosting site. Normally when I need to store files or distribute files to my friends and other people, I would use Ziddu or Rapidshare. It looks like a good alternative though.

Actually it's secondary purpose is the option to share files publicly, like on Rapidshare for instance. Primary goals is to keep a backup of your local files.

I see. Of course there is nothing wrong with storing files on such file hosting servers. If just think that for some people, it's not the first option for security reasons.

why don't you use Skydrive which is provided by windows live and gives 25 GB for backup or dropbox which provides 5 gb of free online backup... they are more popular and reliable..
I frankly have not heard about myotherdrive - is it good...I am willing to try new things.

RAID is not a disaster recovery solution. And while eternal hard drives give you some protection, offsite backups like those discussed are far better solutions. :D
 
I'd recommend using an offsite backup anyday over external harddrives. If the worst happens and your house/office goes up in smoke then you will surely lose both your PC and your backup.
 
try to get a backup service that has R1Soft Solutions as its the best software out there for online backups and restore
