Backing up a computer

  1. I wrote 50GB because that's what adrive.com offers for free.
    I'd prefer free because if something happens to me or my credit card, after few months Amazon will erase all the data. Permanently.

    How's upload/download speed of amazon BTW? Adrive is rather slowish.

    P.S. 50GB would be enough to store only left tit's nipples of my porn collection!

    usb thumbdrives are the cheapest options...you can buy them for under $10 and backup massive amounts of data very fast

  3. With my ISP, it was about a gig per hour. I've seen references to folks getting much faster speeds - like 3GB in 10 minutes - so I'm guessing it was some throttling on my side. In any case, I run a backup once a day from my desktop and every 15 minutes from my laptop. Those differential backups don't take long and just run in the background. Since you pay a price for transfer, I don't think they have any reason to throttle on their end.

    Ashley - I've had USB drives go bad and you have to remember to put them in, take 'em out, etc. With JungleDisk everything is "just there" accessible via a mounted drive.

    Previously, I liked to use USB drives and an application called Allway Sync. It's free for personal use and can run sychronizations automatically when a drive is detected.
