I just use Windows Backup in Win 7. U can choose folders and whatnot and say when to backup and where to store the backup file. But if you want a true backup/mirroring u could use DropBox as well or Dropbox Automator
I agree about the interesting topic. What about cloud storage for offsite backups. To guard against random natural disasters or burglaries? Does anyone use anything other than dropbox? If so how is it? I'm also considering a small portable HD to store in a safe deposit box at the bank for those 6 month or so backups...…
Yeah, online coud be a great solution. The problem that I have with Dropbox (as a backup, I mean) is that it has to be put into a fresh folder created on setup. I don't think one can just point to an existing folder like Malcolm did ... So yeah I'd be curious about other services too. Somehow I am totally for online/cloud…
