I checked into many of the services and then tried Nomadesk (they had a free 30-day trial). They offer unlimited backup and a host of other sharing and security options. I was looking for a little more than just backup and Nomadesk fit the bill. I can access my files from any computer and also my iPhone. Their support team is also very helpful.

I did try Mozy, however the Mac client is very flaky, and after several emails with tech support, I decided I couldn’t rely on something that unreliable for my backups (although the Windows client is apparently OK).
Plus the price is now $4.95 per month vs BackBlaze’s $5 per month, so that’s my main reason for using them instead. Review wise, BackBlaze seems to get much higher praise, certainly from Mac users.

I learned the hard way. Some of my friends must still be sick of hearing about ‘the great computer crash of 2006′. I had a fried hard drive and an estimate of £700 – and yes, I got a few quotes and P.C. World wouldn’t touch it. Now everything’s on Mozy. It cost £50.00 for 2 years. When I had problems recently I just went into Mozy from my partner’s laptop and ordered up the stuff I needed. It was emailed to me in minutes – looking absolutely like the versions I couldn’t access.
