Really? Yuk!

Um, it's dirt cheap.  I just bought an extra 5GB of storage for the 6
laptops.  That = $5 annually.  


>>>Mozy Free can be very slow (I've heard as long as 48
hours)
NO.  I have used the restore many times.  It's instantaneous!!!!

I looked at Carbonite briefly.  Carbonite runs using an ActiveX control,
it's running all the time.  Not what I wanted so I didn't pursue it any
further.

Mozy Pro seems expensive.  Mozy Free can be very slow (I've heard as
long as 48
hours) to restore a file, which is totally unacceptable for business
use, but then MF is not licensed for business use anyway.

I'm using JungleDisk myself to back up my Netware server from a
workstation.  
Works fine, except that it uses a fixed location (%APPDATA%\Jungledisk
to cache files on their way to backup.  This can be a huge problem if
your C: drive is too small, and since the workstation I'm using was
partitioned with a small C: 
drive and a large D: (for Data) partition I've had occasional problems.


There's now a Workgroup edition of Jungledisk, I intend to evaluate it
when some time comes around on the keyboard.
