    I use a Network Attached Storage unit with RAID-enabled Terabyte drives. If a drive fails, no worries; the other drive still carries the data, and you can swap out the bad drive and it will replicate once that's done.
    BUT, the safest AND best way is to have two backups of your data. So, have a copy off of your computer, AND an off-site location if it's data that you cannot afford to lose.
    The problem with carbonite is that it's a recurring charge. For many of us, it's an extra bill we don't want.

    Personally, I have lots of data I don't want to lose, but wouldn't make me lose my job or some other major aspect of my life if it got destroyed, so I just keep my RAID-enabled NAS and leave it at that.
    Agreed. Not excited about the recurring charge. But thats about the cheapest I can find - considering the unlimited data.

    Glad to hear you got a good deal on it. Was that through the twit.tv affiliate deal?

    No-- Just went to their website and they had one, two, and three year deals available. Think it was $54 for one $99 for two, and $129 for three.

    Great! I'll have to check it out again.

    I would highly suggest crashplan. Did a lot of research and they seem to be the best. I used to use mozy, but their client took up a completely unacceptable amount of cpu threads. Crashplan is incredibly light though- you honestly don't know it's there.

    Is there any benefit to Crashplan free. Use laymen terms please.

    What brands of external drives should you look for?

    I'm thinking at just starting at 500GB. I won't shoot that much to fill it up.

    I use a Western Digital dual 500GB Raid setup. I set windows to use a custom drive letter near the end of the alphabet. I use SyncToy 2.1 from Microsoft to cross sync selected folders on my notebook, as well as an archive folder on my external to store the stuff I don't need on my notebook anymore. Nice and easy! Every time I do a large change of files, I plug in my external Hd, load synctoy, and click sync all.

    Lacie makes the best external drives. You'll pay a premium for them though.
