Carbonite's $55 a year, there may be cheaper options out there. - Ender Jul 30, 21:49 6
- Even "second hard drive placed at someone else's house" would work. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 21:52 3
  - or just one hidden in your own house. unless there was a fire. -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:55 1
    - Or tornado, or flood, or any of about a dozen other things. It's better than nothing but ideally you really want it outside of the house. - Ender Jul 30, 22:03
  - True The only downside of that is that you probably wouldn't backup as often. - Ender Jul 30, 21:54
- are there limits to what kind of stuff you can backup? like mp3s, videos etc? -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 21:49 1
  - As far as I know it doesn't by default include videos or files over 4GB in the backup but you can manually set those to be included in the automatic backup too. -- nm - Ender Jul 30, 21:52
