- jamroom 16y agoI've been using backblaze for over a year and it works great: http://www.backblaze.com/ http://www.backblaze.com/
- zck 16y agoDropbox? Carbonite? MobileMe? There are other options out there.
- egb 16y agohttp://www.crashplan.com/ http://www.crashplan.com/ seems to be alright, though its java process can get somewhat bloated on OSX... And yes, I've tried building one myself, but ran up against patent trolling for p2p backup and had to shut it down even though it was just a hobby project. Does anyone know if all these companies have licensed the patents that cover peer-to-peer backups? I _so_ wish I had prior art to show against that...
