v-stuff is a program for backing up your computor files in case your computor crashes, or some how, you lose all you files to a cp virus. you can supposidley upload your photos or what ever you want to the virgin media web site. But as i have said easyer said than done.

e.g photos, mp3s etc..etc
Why bother using vstuff for photos when there are dedicated photo services like Picasa 3?

I just use vstuff for Office files. It is too slow for anything else.

I agree. I shadow my system using Acronis working with a network hard drive in the attic. I can restore everything using it's rescue disc. Acronis will even transfer your old system onto a completely new computer with a different spec. You can also access the disc image at any time to restore individual files.
