    Reliable and secure online backup needed

    As I need to travel a lot and cant rely on CD's and VCD's for backup of my important file. Can someone suggest me an online backup solution where I can access my docs on my iphone effortlessly. I have a latest IPhone 3G handset. Hope there is no security issue in this.

    I was also looking out for a similar solution. I have checked SugarSync, they do not have any free subscription, they offer a trial period though.. Can somebody suggest a free online storage solution with a mobile access feature?

    are also threads on the subject you can have a look through.

    Skydrive is OK, although a little slow for me at times. But it's free

    Depends on how much data you want to store. More data & faster access is always going to cost.

    Re: Reliable and secure online backup needed

    I do not mind spending if the service is really good.

    But what I need is the assurity that the product should be reliable and my data should be well secured. I would need to know some analysis results of the data centers where my data would be stored. Has anyone done such kind of analysis about online backup services.
