>2. I also have been looking at online backup sites, in addition to a Online backup option is a good idea. With this option we can safe our data in online servers, instead in local external drives. It will more helpful during the machine disaster case. You can try Vembu StoreGrid online backup software for this option, it transfer the data after encryption and compression. So it provides data saftey while transfer through network. Also it supports incremental backups, during the incremental backup only modified bytes will be transferred, so we no need to worry about the amount of data upload. It check the integrity of the data once the backup completed successfully.
>Too slow for large drives. Yes of course. To overcome this slow transfer, Vembu StoreGrid supports seed backup migration feature to avoid the data transfer through network. i.e, You can backup your drive in the local location, once backup completed in the local drive then you can copy the data and seed it in online server without any data transfer via network. Once you seed the data in the online server, thereafter only modified data will be transferred during the incremental backup.
