Is there such a thing as a decent free online backup? I wouldn't need more than a gig; it would be mostly for storing office documents.
I believe my MSN account (which is free) includes a 25GB "sky drive" which could be used for backup. I haven't used it yet - has anyone else?
I use the Live (MSN/Hotmail) Skydrive a bit and I like it, only issue sometimes is the 50mb single file limit but its rare that I want to throw up something that large. I think it may let you view Office docs online, unfortunately they block all file storage sites at my work or I'd comment more on it.
www.Mozy.com - Used to have a free 1-2 gig limit, not sure about now.. I think the software is horrible.
www.Dropbox.com - Basic folder sync, 2 gig free
www.idrive.com - 5 GB free, never used them
I far prefer Crashplan to the competition.. the pricing is very competitive.
