Hello, Well, I was considering, but have since decided to stick with external devices, using "the cloud" to back-up my external hard drive.

But as I said, I've rather given up on internet based solutions and I'll stick to hardware. bJ On 23/01/2013, Thomas <mrnoisy98@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > What are you trying to back up in the cloud, your house? > I know that people have a lot of data, but you don't need to back up > 4294967296000bits of it. > maybe some important documents, home movies, songs, any work. but not > all the computers in your house. > if you're that distraught, go with something else. > in fact, I don't think Dropbox was intended as a backup service in the > beginning, or at least, most people use it for file sharing and > collaborative works. > On 24/01/2013 5:39, BJ Edwards wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Maybe I am paranoid but "the cloud" seems a tad odd.
