I have been reading all your comments and appreciate all the information. I too, have an external backup, and have backed up most of my files, but I don't do that every week and sometimes get a little lazy. I also transfer important and newly changed files to my husband's computer via our personal network and any really important files to a thumb drive. I guess losing my files to a fire or some other unforeseen tragedy concerned me, and having a full backup automatically updated on line that could be retrieved for a machine that lost its hard drive sounds wonderful.
I am a little nervous about giving up all my information as I do save passwords/usernames on my computer browsers. They would be backed up also, wouldn't they.
I do have hotmail and didn't realize they had that much free online space. I assume that it is just for files and not a full backup.
Mozy definitely sounds interesting, but while checking it out through one of Tech's links, I found that you can't access your files from the web. that would seem to be a problem, if you needed your files immediately.
Carbonite is the only one that I see that has web access with unlimited gigs and a good price. Has anyone on this site used it?
If anyone else sees this topic and has more information, I would be happy to hear it.
Thanks again,
