During some of this rough weather that rolled through Chicago last week, I got a bit concerned about my home PC data backup needs. Not only do I have my writing on the home box, but I also use Microsoft Money, which would be a real pain to loose. The home box also isn't the newest PC around, with it's original hard drive. Now, I had been doing the old "copy to a flash drive" routine, except 1) it was a slow copy (the PC is a USB 1 box) and 2) I didn't do it on any sort of routine. I'll use item #1 as my excuse. It beats the alternatives ;-)
So, I'm trying SOS Online Backup. It's fairly cheap, recommended by a bunch of PC magazines, and best of all is "set and forget." I discovered a bug with the software regarding passwords, but other then that, the installation was simple enough. I'm still evaluating the automated features, and I also need to check out the "share" feature, which I think will allow me to check out files to various PCs.
So what are you using to back up your data?
