Online backup services

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

PC World reviews 17 online storage solutions for your off-site backup needs and give IBackup their highest rating.

For anyone who doesn’t already have server space for backup, this roundup is a nice summary of prices and features. Using any of these services that mount as a network drive – or provide FTP access – you too can sleep well while your computer automatically backs up your data offline in case of theft, fire or flood.

Techworld also has a nice article, The Online Storage Gang. This article shares some of the same companies but has a much more user friendly description of the services.

I’ve personally used the newly free XDrive, it’s pretty decent. I’ve also checked out DivShare. While DivShare is fast and simple… I but found it too limited and simplistic for anything more than occassional sharing. Of the bunch I’ve seen, MediaMax Steamload really stands out (I have to admit that I haven’t used OmniDrive yet, which is the site TechWorld awards its highest honors).
