Carbonite's $55 a year, there may be cheaper options out there.

Posted by Ender (aka Ender) Jul 30 '10, 21:49

I've been incredibly delinquent in my backups in the past but tonight's events spurred me to get it taken care of.

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
