I'm looking for some software which will allow me to backup work documents (Excel, Word, Powerpoint) with ease. Although I already backup infrequently to external HD and weekly to a partition of my desktop HD, I still feel that it is all too easy to lose some data. A friend suggested web based backups, and for a while I've found this useful, but it's starting to get tiresome and time consuming, taking ten minutes each day to upload all the new files or update previously stored files I've changed. As such, I was wondering if anyone knew of any software that would automate the process for me; literally, I get in, log on, and select "Back-up" and it scans selected folders, updating or uploading any new/edited files to a secure internet folder. I've found a few quite nice ones, but they all have flaws. My ideal plan would be a FREE account on a service, with downloadable software that could run an automated update schedule of customisably selected folders, and around 5gb minimum of web space. So far I've come across Elephant Disk, though it's a bit cumbersome and doesn't offer enough space, and Xdrive, which would be totally ideal if I could get the software to download. Any ideas?
Mediamax sounds pretty good. They've give you 25GB of storage for free. They do have automatic backup software, but it's still in beat at the minute.
