Hi Severin, Are you meaning "Online Backup" or "Offsite Backup". By mentioning iCloud I presumed you meant "Online Backup"?
If so, you need to check the security of each service and the price. Most are very expensive especially for the amount of Data you are thinking of storing. And remember to upload or download from 'Online Backup' can take days for that amount of data! ;-) A few links for you below: Online Backup Services: Which online backup service is right for you? <http://www.macworld.com/article/1156511/whatonlinebackupservice.html> 7 Web services that let you back up files and restore them from anywhere Bit outdated as written in 2009 <http://www.macworld.com/article/1142606/online_backup.html> 6 of the best online backup services for Mac <http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-online-backup-services-for-mac-929115> 2012 Best Online Data Backup Comparisons and Reviews <http://online-data-backup-review.toptenreviews.com/> 27 Online Backup Services Reviewed A List of the Best Online Backup Services <http://pcsupport.about.com/od/maintenance/tp/online_backup_services.htm> Online Cloud Backup Reviews & Ratings <http://www.nextadvisor.com/online_backup_services/index.php> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.7.4 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 27/06/2012, at 3:47 PM, Severin Crisp wrote: > I have a significant amount of material (up to 200GB) that I would like to > back up securely offsite. iCloud looks pricey!
