My computer CRASHED several weeks ago! My first thought was MY data...GONE! And, it was. I had NOT backed up my "stuff," like I have been told to do a million times. I always think, "Okay, next time...I'm to busy now. I even have the little stick on my keychain--all I had to do was put it in a USB port. Has this ever happened to you? Probably!
While sitting an Open House yesterday, I was catching up on my magazine reading and came across an article that had three different websites for "STORAGE" online. I haven't decided, yet, which one I MAY use, but I am fairly sure I'll consider one.

Kathy, take a look at Carbonite (carbonite.com). I've been using it for several months now. The initial backup takes days (like 10) but then it is instataneous with new files after that.
Steve; THANK YOU so much! I'll check it out now.
I used CARBONITE to back up my computer and it was definitely easy to use. Several months later, I lost a major file, over 4 GB of customer data. When I went to Carbonite to get it back, I found out they had not backed this particular file up because of its size. I retraced my steps and could find no signs that this information was ever asked of me. I AM NOT A FAN OF CARBONITE, THEY WON'T EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT IT.
