Backups
Thought I’d try out some of the online backup services out there. They backup for you, offer decent recovery options, and are cheap. For example CrashPlan will let me back up all the family’s computers for USD100 a year. Backblaze seemed to integrate nicely into the System Preferences and of course there’s dropbox (which sent out a promo email recently promising more services real soon). So, trialled a couple over a couple of hours to get an idea, until I realised that with 100+Gb to backup any traffic back out of my ISP account is billed, and with 20Gb a month, well, it just is not doable. Given that most of the world actually pays for capped bandwidth (outside of the US) presumably these businesses really only work within the US. Or have I got this wrong?
