Re: Re: Data Backup and Folder Sync - Dropbox

Hi Simon,

This isn't exactly what you specced, but whenever the topic of secure
offsite backup comes up, especially on UKHA (Where cost is king ;) ) - - I
feel obliged to mention http://www.carbonite.com

Lightweight PC client that backs up selected files/folders over an
encrypte=
d
connection to a remote hosted server, where it's mirrored (on disk) and
between redundant data centres - such that it would take a BIG disaster for
all copies to be lost.

It runs whenever your internet connection is idle, and is very much
"set an=
d
forget".

Prices are very reasonable @ ~=A325/Year for unlimited storage space, and
t=
hey
offer a 15 day free trial too.

Initial backup may take some time (limited by your upstream bandwidth), but
after that, it just takes differentials, so it's pretty nippy.

I've mentioned it a few ties in the past, and I know other members have
found it useful.

no affiliation etc - just a happy customer.

If, however, you'd like to use my referral link to sign up, you get an
extr=
a
month free, and I get some additional free time too ;-)

Cheers,

Rob
