My understanding is that Mozy allows such a thing at no extra charge and so I'm looking into that.

Ive been using it for a while now and its been great. Its not invasive at all, it works seamlessly in the background of your computer. It's only fifty dollars and its been a life saver. Ive lost my hard drive multiple times and got it restored fully each time. I give it my highest recommendation. I totally agree with Lee, Carbonite is the way to go.

The pricing for your services seem quite a lot higher than Mozy or Carbonite, so I'm not sure what the advantages of going with your system would be.

Just got a new (to me) laptop and in the course of trying to get my firefox installation duplicated on the new machine, I managed to mangle its files on the old machine. Mozy backup to the painless rescue. That said, I'm not sure I want to ante up for the $5/mo option, just yet, because I would really prefer to have my offline storage 1) look like its onboard -- look like just another drive on my own machine or lan, and 2) give me the option of sharing selected files with selected users. I'm still looking around. Looking at eSnips.com and OrbitFiles.com, both of which offer generous free versions, and allow sharing. Neither one looks like another drive on my machine, but eSnips has a firefox toolbar and windows explorer context-menu options that are pretty impressive, and the downloadable uploader from OrbitFiles can be set up to schedule backups. One service that does look like a drive on my machine is offered by omnidrive.com. BUT it's pretty unstable, in the sense that some copies fail, and has a lousy interface.

Crucial features for me are encryption (with own keys), multiple file versions and partial updates (I have some writable disc images which are really big and I don't like to constantly send them to the mozy servers). There's a free subscription which gives you 2 GB backup space. And if you use or make a referral you even get 256 mb extra. Just use this link with the promo code inside: https://mozy.com/ [edit:no aff link drops please] After your first backup, the extra space is added to your and to my account.

I'll check them out. I wish carbonite had a monthly option. Do these services delete all your data once you stop paying? I wonder how that works. Thanks for the suggestions, Lee & Tim.

So, you could just use your own server. I haven't tried it yet, but it is on my to-do list (especially as I need to rebuild my computer soon). Anyone else tried it?
