A proper backup isn't done until you have 3 copies. :)
Any of the online ones are fine. Your choices are Mosy, Jungle Disk,
Bitdefender and about 100 others.
Or, you can weekly back up to your big external hard drive and keep it
in your trunk. That solves the lightning issue (I should do that).

The advantage of the Acronis offsite storage is if you had a horrible
flood/fire/etc or you travel a lot and have different computers at each
location and want to keep your files in one central location for access.
Otherwise the local backups are used as Stan mentioned.

I have used Acronis True Image Backup software for 2 years. About 1 year
ago I had my desktop hardrive crashed. Using my external backup USB drive I
re-installed everything in 30 minutes after replacing the defective HD.
Thanks to Acronis. it was simple.
My question would be can you do this with an online backup? I merely
booted off the Acronis CD and ran the restore program off the CD. 20 minutes
it was like the HD crash never happened......
BIG USB drives are less than $100. What does the online backup cost?
I use 2 backup drives and alternate. One drive is kept in the house the
other is not in case the house burns down I still have a backup.
5 years ago I got hit by lightning. It hit a cedar tree on my property ,
went into the ground and got my telephone line, went to the DSL modem to the
computer. At that time I had NO backup at all except my pictures and mp3's
on a few DVD's . I lost everything else. It aint gonna happen again. I
backup several times a week.....

computer and would appreciate any comments as to the functionalities or
disadvantages of the Acronis Online service in lieu of purchasing the hard
drive.
