Online backup FAIL

I’ve got a backup strategy that I like, but the offsite part is weak (because I’m too lazy to bring home my offsite backup and update it every often). Online backup seems like a great way to fill in that gap.

Thing is, this story from TechRepublic on their experience with Mozy and Carbonite isn’t too reassuring. (Hat tip to Bill Dean.)

Anyone using online backup? Talk to me.

    there’s also jungledisk and dropbox, both of which use A3, I think. dropbox is more of a sync program than a backup, but you can jigger it to work pretty well. I’m pro, compared to mozy.
