How do you guys backup your hard drives?

Chris Kent · 11-25-2009, 05:43 AM

I use 2 hard drives that are synchronised. I don't trust online backup. Your data could be compromised at any point between source and destination. And there is no such thing as a 100% secure connection.

Better to use physical backups and keep one set off-site.

Hey mate,

I just started using getdropbox.com and LOVE IT.

Free 2 gigs, automatically synced across all my computers, good stuff!

I almost lost everything back in June and then signed up for Mozy. Online backup - automatic when your system is dormant.

My laptop crashed (again) in Oct and they were complete morons with their support. Took a whole week to get my files restored on my spare laptop. No phone support at all - it's all done IM/chat.

I'll check out some of these other services when this one expires. I can't be trusted to do it manually.

I don't know about stuff online, but wouldn't it be better to have another hard copy- a terabite memory size of an external hardrive perhaps if you have a lot-some reasonable price on ebay xx
