I was reading this article on LifeHacker and it got me thinking about my personal backup plan. I have a local and now offsite backup with http://www.backblaze.com/ which basically offer unlimited backup on your computer for anything except your operating system, applications, temporary files, or those over 4GB. for $5 / Month, I'm in the process of sending them 400GB of data which goes over a secure connection and is held securely by them.
I've tested it on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7, both machines are uploading during the trial 15 day period completely automatically as and when they are turned on and have a connection to the internet) and I defiantly plan on purchasing a fully fledged account, for both machines this will cost $10 / Month. Its going to take about a 1-2 months before everything from the initial backup is in the cloud.
I also have all my data backed up locally on a 2TB Time Machine (along with my Girlfriends and Flatmates)
The above processes are automated and I never really think about it.
I was wondering if the majority are as anal about backing up and what you're solutions are. Pictures of fancy NAS boxes are welcome
