Thanks for the help. Looks like I have some research to do. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:24 3
- What kinda stuff do you have on it? I just use an external HD with a back-up system. - Spawn Jan 25, 12:28 2
  - Nothing all that important, just various documents, movies, music, etc..the usual crap. I have an external hd but I worry about that crashing too and - Krusty Jan 25, 12:31 1
    - The are not both going to crash at the same time. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:33
I tried Carbonite and found it way too resource intensive. Then Crashplan, and didn't really like that. I use Moxy now and prefer it greatly. - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:17 7
- You use me? -- nm - amoxy Jan 25, 12:29 1
  - You ain't no average groupie. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 12:31
- *mozy*? -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 12:18 4
  - Sorry. Mozy. (fat fingers) -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 12:20
  - Boxy? -- nm - lileve Jan 25, 12:20
  - No, Don Homer uses his Moxy to keep his data secure. He's cool like that -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:20 1
    - Hepcat, that reference is outta sight -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 12:21
I use Carbonite. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:15 1
- As do I. I pay for very few online services. But I pay for this. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 12:22
Crashplan -- (link) - oblique Jan 25, 12:14 4
- I really need to do this. Mozy would be $60 for the year, so $50 is even better. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 12:25 1
  - The Crashplan family plan is very hard to beat and I love that it still gives you the options of helping back up your friends/family as well -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:27
- Wow, there's a Pro version too. Would that be too much like a himbo? -- nm - Trish Jan 25, 12:15 1
  - We use the business version. He's very reliable :) -- nm - oblique Jan 25, 12:16
what type of backup, limited or full, local or online? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 12:13 4
- *shrug* I lost everything when my laptop crashed and I'd like to avoid that again. I guess, full backup. Not sure about local or online. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:15 3
  - I'd go online. Onsite backups are fine until someone breaks in and steals both your computer and your backup. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:16 2
    - Theft isn't an issue, computer failure is the issue for me. Online seems like what I want. -- nm - Krusty Jan 25, 12:19 1
      - It's never an issue until the first time it happens. -- nm - Ender Jan 25, 12:21
