Squeeze all your files down into management packets and mail them to your free gmail account. You might have oodles of those old files but when you compress them, many will be less than a meg in size. Gmail now gives you free 7.299.7954 megs and counting up. So, two free gmail accounts will do you well. Besides, it is amazing to me that people will spend lots of time and effort having a good backup system but store their backups in the wooden bookcase in the same room as their computer and working files. Backing up also means away. So, you want away backups and google is secure.
