now that everyone can upload 25gigs of info for free to windows live accounts, is there a reason to pay for online backup? google thinks so - they have various online storage plans including $50yr to store 200g of info.

i had 2 backup hdd die during a lightning storm that wasn't even that strong and i haven't bought an hdd since: why waste the $$? i need another source of backup though and wonder which online service is really a good idea. or might it be good to have one free service like windows live and one for-pay service?

The cloud has become a lot more powerful. It is far more than just storage or backup. Not only you can backup files to the cloud, you can also move your entire file server, FTP server, email server, web server and backup system to the cloud. You can create sub-users and sub-groups; you can set different user roles; share different folders to different users with different permissions. For a small business, Cloud-based storage, backup, sharing and Cloud IT Solution can save you a lot of cost, while offering better, more secure and reliable services that can be accessed from anywhere. DriveHQ.com is one of the first few companies offering such cloud based services. For more info, please visit:

They for sure worth it , because your data/files saved online are much safer than using any other method. A good software that you can try and see for yourself how the softwares act is http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html .Is a free software and also their online storage service is free up to 3gb of space.

I look for sharing in addition to backup from my online storage company. I like http://www.myotherdrive.com because their online backup is industrial strength with unattended operation and encryption. So I know my data is safe. But their sharing is where it's really at. I can control who sees my shared files - I do not have to shared publicly for others to see. Very cool.

I agree. If your data is important, then use a service that has technical support, and is a solid product. I use nBackup.com
