You know, I’m convinced, when it comes to backup software, the fewer steps, the better. If I don’t have to plug in an outboard hard-drive and click on a backup program, I confess: my computer gets backed up about 20 times as often now that I’ve hooked up to an online backup, as opposed to the outboard (hardware) type drive I used for years. I’m sure there are people with great memories. I’m not one of them. I love a “fire and forget” solution. Greg our I.T. guy, recommended Spideroak for me.
