| 1282009 | 2012-06-16 05:31:00 | I plan on storing some of my personal data/files (mostly digital pics) online. I just want a a backup of my backup drives...incase my house catches fire :D Anyone with good experience with online storing. I dont mind paying a small fee as long as its reliable and will be around for foreseeble future The obvious one that i though of was Hotmail/Skydrive since hotmail bombards me with adverts for it whenever i login to it Cheers |

| 1282010 | 2012-06-16 06:26:00 | I would advise justcloud. If you do decide to go with it, download the free trial, sign up for email from them,and wait. I've just got an option of a 70% discount :) | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1282011 | 2012-06-17 05:33:00 | I can recommend Dropbox. You get 2Gb free but more space can be bought or if you recommend people you get more space that way too. www.dropbox.com |

| 1282012 | 2012-06-17 06:08:00 | I do photography. Thing is if you have 10GB or more likely 100GBs if you have dSLRs etc ... with the recent models with their megapixels..... How are you gonna retrieve it? I suggest some online backup and a external HD in a bank safe box or relative's place and maybe put the critical files online and the recent files. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1282013 | 2012-06-17 07:44:00 | To fix the hotmail issue (For Firefox) you can get an add blocker extension. It blocks the adds for as long as you want. That's what I use anyway. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||

| 1282015 | 2012-06-17 10:39:00 | Who can tell these days after MegaUpload. I agree! I would not trust my only backup to the cloud at this stage. I use the cloud for temporary stuff I want to view in multiple locations, not for personal data. |

| 1282017 | 2012-06-17 18:52:00 | Try this (https://www.backflip.co.nz/) one. Easy to setup and fast as it is based in NZ. As cheap as any overseas and no limit. | notechyet (4479) | ||
| 1282018 | 2012-06-18 01:55:00 | www.skydrive.com is a great choice They have had some major outages. August and September last year and another problem returning URL's and Aussies had a major outage this year. Personally I would look elsewhere. |
