I was typing Dropbox, but realized their limit is 100 GB. Seriously though, for backup, nothign can compare to Dropbox. Continuously synced, no user input required, little resource consumption, and continuous versioning.
I've heard they've planned to offer more than 100 GB, but all in all, I think its far superior to Mozy or other alternatives, which I've used.
The peace of mind, knowing that my laptop can catch on fire, or be stolen, and I won't even loose a minute of work is very rewarding. With Mozy, I was always stressed, checking if my backup ran because I closed my laptop lid, or left it in the bag.
Besides, loosing even a day's worth of work is incredibly depressing.
- rexreed 16y agoHow does Dropbox secure their data? Most of the online backup co's use 448-bit Blowfish SSL encryption with a password to encrypt the private key
- bdclimber14 16y agoHonestly, I don't know the answer to this. Their online access uses standard SSL, but the data uploading is unknown to me. Security comes second to convenience and reliability for me. Anything sensitive information, I'll encrypt locally myself, which in turn encrypts on Dropbox.
