Greg: I wonder how many guys store their backups in the 'clouds'??
John, An interesting question you ask. This "cloud" based storage thing has been marketed by everyone's favourite company, Google.
You'll never see me using it, I mean, for the time being it is free to everyone that uses it. There will be an on-line riot the day that Google starts charging for this service and by then, they have you by the short and curlies.
I always wondered what their liability was for lost or simply stolen data. I know my web provider has "lost" my web site a couple times and I had to restore it from my backup. I certainly wouldn't put any personal or business sensitive data on a cloud.
I have 3 computers and a Dropbox account. Everytime I change a file it is uploaded to Dropbox and then copied back down to my other 2 computers. So my file exists on Dropbox and 3 computers. Pretty good fault tolerance if you ask me. Plus all my files are accessible from any web browser on any computer at the Dropbox website and via my iPhone.
