This morning I got a message popup saying I'm reaching my storage limit. But it's unlimited  |
It is unlimited but it just doesn't work. Do a search for VStuff in this forum to see the results. It's a pity because it's well featured. You are right though, it is ridiculously slow to upload, I've had mine running for weeks now and it has uploaded 1.8Gb and it keeps stalling.
I'm using JungleDisk now and it works out at less than a fiver a month for the 30Gb that I want to keep backed up. Although it doesn't have brick level back up of email and contacts, it does actually work. There are a few good ones out there and whichever provider you end up with, I would recommend online backups in general.
Sephiroth, the reason why this is different to backing up to a USB Stick/DVD/External Hard Drive is because it is fit and forget. I was always forgetting to do my weekly back up on to my external USB WD Passport, but now I've got Jungle Disk running I'm always backed up within a few hours. Plus you can access your files from any PC, anywhere in the world, at any time as long as you have access to the internet. I think this will really take off with home users over the next couple of years.
