>Indeed I am a cautionary tale for treating Synchronization as Backup
Indeed! I don't know why all of the providers I've tried so far are obsessed with mirror/sync backups. I just wanted a "drive in the cloud", not some kind of ROBOCOPY /MIR command into the cloud. As Mike's page says a mirror is not a backup; what happens if my local copy goes haywire, or is scrubbed, or moved or renamed, or whatever? Then you have this management hassle which would probably overwhelm average suburban carbon blobs, let alone me. Mozy says it hides (not deletes) files for 30 days, so you have a cool-off period, but whoop-de-doo for more complexity. I'm probably going to drop Mozy because it's another one of these mirroring facilities, which is too smart for its own good. I just want a "drive in the cloud" that I manage. Sheesh! Is this too much to ask? I must re-ask previous respondents which of their providers is just a storage area, not a mirror? Cheers, Greg
