I found to my immense disgust that I had lost a random third of my music files somewhere in the shift from my old hard drive to the Maxtor, to the WD to the FreeAgent Pro and I didn’t have it backed up anywhere. Since I regularly preach on the importance of backups I thought it was about time I got myself organised. I decided against Carbonite because my data lives on an external drive that Carbonite won’t backup. I eventually went with Mozy because of unlimited backups and good price. Since my initial backup is about 95GB it will take over 2 months. However there won’t be much change after that so subsequent backups should be bearable.

Yes, I’m also annoyed that Carbonite won’t backup “external” drives.
I’ve just installed a 16 GB Lexar solid state drive into the ExressCard slot of my laptop and Carbonite doesn’t “see” this as a drive it should backup!
