![]() ![]() Sure enough on one of those occasions when the backup didn't happen one night a few months ago, my SSD drive froze up and I lost a bunch of data from the previous days' work (I got it back when a couple of days later the SSD miraculously decided to start up again :-). That's actually been working pretty good except that on occasion the machine is off at night or the drive isn't connected and so a backup here and there fails. To give some context first, before going down this path I've been been doing timed backups that do a backup every night to an attached USB drive that I swap between two physical devices every few days a third drive is backed up about once a month and that one is stored with a friend off site (we basically swap drives). I'd be curious to hear what some of you are using and how you fared. This list is not exhaustive by any means - there are many more services out there but these are the ones I looked at based on recommendations and after poking around a bit before playing. I spent a bunch of time playing around with various services. To my chagrin though I discovered that while there are plenty of services out there, finding one that provides the right features at the right price was anything but trivial. I figured this process would be fairly straight forward since online backup services have been around for a while now. For the last couple of weeks I finally decided that it's time to get an online backup plan of some sort to do 'live' backups of my data and work environment.
