Thanks Roger, I already back up to an in house 1 TB ext HD. Problem is IF (Heaven forbid) the house burns down or my computer stuff is stolen the stuff on the in home ext HD would be gone also. I have no problem with an internet connection. I use COX Cable. It is very reliable and is always online. I believe a good online backup provider would have good enough security to prevent hacking. The company going out of business (or being unreliable) is a possibility. I tried QUICKEN online backup that comes with the Quicken program. When I filled up my basic allotment of storage and attempted to buy more I ran into a brick wall with their tech support in India. We went around and around and I finally told them to cancel my account.
I responded to Theo directly that DROPBOX looks like a good way to go but is expensive at $120 a year. I am now looking at CARBONITE and MOZY mentioned on Jim, AD1C's, web pages. I am also curious if anyone has any experience with SUGARSYNC offered by Best Buy. -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Roger D Johnson Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 6:52 AM To: DX4Win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Backup I'm skeptical about storing info on one of these online services. 1. It requires an internet connection 2. It's vulnerable to hackers 3. The company might go out of business What is wrong with using a CD-ROM or thumbdrive? 73, Roger On 11/21/2011 6:12 AM, Vanderydt Theo wrote: > Hi Alan es all, > > The best solution to safeguard your entire DX4Win "save" directory is > by installing Dropbox on your computer. > ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
