Hi Gary,

Crashplan is excellent and very affordable for backing up your personal
data. The best feature is the ability to use multiple destinations so
you can backup to a portable drives, other computers, friends computers
and the cloud all at the same time. Rates for unlimited cloud storage
are very reasonable.

Cheers,

Roger
