I’m always worried about backing up stuff only when I go out of town. Then I think what if my house burned down or basement flooded. So I backup my documents, photos, mp3 and other files before I leave. But, there is always a chance that my hard drive could crash and I always forget to backup to my external drive. I’m looking into online backups especially since I run a business off my computer. We are going to try a few out and let you know what we think…

What’s better than free? Mozy.com , Idrive.com offers free online backup service for up to 2GB. Xdrive offers 5gb, and mediamax 25gb.

Mozy is offering free DVD restore for anyone affected by California fires.

We will review free online backup options and let you know…

Want to share files with your co-workers or friends? Upload it to openbox.
