Online Backup/Storage
cwieberdink:
What is the general consensus about online backup and storage services, such as Carbonite? There is "no limit" on storage, and it automagically backs up files including your music, pictures, documents, etc. After having three hard drive failures on various computers over the last year (including my external backup hard drive. That was harsh.) and having several backup DVDs decide to be unreadable, I'm looking into this type of thing now.
Edited title for spelling :P

No really how does that happen that much? Is your place not have room temperature? Do you drop equipment on floor a lot?
I had online service out of London at one time but they decided to shut down business with only a week's notice and everything I had was deleted (luckily nothing important).
It might be better (and cheaper) to just buy your own remote server and have space for a website too. Those sites with auto uploader also are shady sounding think spyware.

I use Orbitfiles myself. Not sure how reliable it really is in the long run, but it hasn't failed me so far.

How does it happen so much? I have no idea. The external drive powers on, but no computer recognizes that it is plugged in. The other two drives were laptop drives. One of them I did drop a glass of red wine in the laptop, but the other one is only about a year old and the scandisc says to replace the harddrive. This is over the course of two desktops and four laptop computers, as well as my external harddrive.

You could use your MATYbukkit for all your important Cwieberdinkly Sims-related things.
