I've been using the excellent
Carbonite online backup service for the last few weeks. For $49.95 (about £25) you get unlimited online storage for a year. You can never have too many backups (as you find out if your PC hard disk fails)! Carbonite is a great addition to the usual physical backup media like CDs & DVDs. If your hard disk fails you can restore your data to the new one. Carbonite runs in the background and
automatically saves copies of your files online. There's even a free trial to get you started.
In summary:
- Unlimited storage capacity for your PC backups
- Automatically finds all your data files -- photos, documents, music, emails, everything
- Always on – just connect to the Internet
- Set and forget – just start Carbonite and relax
- Instantly detects and backs up changed files
- Never slows down your computer or Internet
- Exclude files you don’t want to back up
- Strong encryption for super security
- Backs up approximately 2GB per day over broadband
Carbonite is a great way to protect valuable data like photos.
