I have a home office and I've been considering using a professional backup system to store my data off site. I was looking at Backup.com's services (http://www.backupp.com) and I'm a little wary. I want my data secure, but I'm also wondering about allowing a service automated access to my files. But I like the idea that it's done often and, if something happens to my home or computer, then the data is not lost. Do any of you subscribe to a service like this? MW

why would you want to do that? unless you have a cable connection or something? if your on modem. its going to take you ages to upload your data. but from what i heard its not bad. have you considered a re-writable cdr? rob Mary Wallis <MaryWallis@iname.com> wrote in message news:926126686.603786@rodelo.cyberverse.com... > I have a home office and I've been considering using a professional > backup system to store my data off site.
