But if you are trying to protect your data, why are you sending it to someone?

Most services make it easy to log into your account and reinstall your data on a new computer.

I keep telling people about crash plan because after trying Mozy and Carbonite, I was put onto it my my IT manager (I am a programmer and coffee roaster:)

I loved it. I don’t use their cloud, but I use their software to backup my computers to each other and to an external computer. It is very cool and there isn’t a charge unless you use their cloud.

I also use dropbox for simple synching. It is free for < 2GB.

Most of the services offer encryption where you are the only one who knows key and is encrypted before sending.

448 Blowfish. No one’s going to be decrypting your data.

I agree and I use external hard drives, put them in fireproof safe.
