Storage Companies

by George Shadch_en - 4/12/07 7:33 PM

I have a new HP laptop and two external drives. I want to export my important files to a company who can store them for me. I need approx. 60 GB of storage. Any idea of a trustworthy place, and not too expensive? Is putting all my info onto a DVD in Zip files and leave them in my safe an alternative? What happens in case of a fire and all my disk are burned?
Thanks for input, Monique

It would be wise to have 1 set of backups in your safe at home and another set stored off-site. Your offsite options might include a safe deposit box at the local bank, or, you could use a backup service like Carbonite. I have been using them for over 6 months and am pleased with the ease of use. You can use this link to download a free 15-day trial subscription to Carbonite, and get an extra free month of service when you buy: http://www.carbonite.com/raf/signup.aspx
You'll need a high speed internet connection, and the initial backup will take quite some time, so be prepared.
