I just signed up for this to back up some essentials files (mainly family photo's) off site, as well as the household back-up server.
I'm always wary of services like these. Would you trust someone enough to leave a boxfull of your photos and cd's in their house indefinitely? I wouldn't!
Would you trust someone to keep all your money 'safe'?
I see your point, but money doesn't hold any sentimental value to me. If someone lost my money, I would expect to get it back, but if someone lost my personal photographs, that would be quite different. It's a bit of a moot point though, as people should only use it as a backup!
I'd be quite trusting of these backup systems, if your doing high enough volume, 5gig is easy to archive.Quote:
