I keep a local backup of everything. I've tried a Western Digital Solution and despite the fact that I didn't like the interface or accessibility at all - one drive failed. Thankfully I could return it and get my money back.
I can strongly recommend the Seagate GoFlex Home. It links into my home network and automatically backs up my laptop when it is opened. The software doesn't slow down my computer and I can access the backup over the internet.
http://www.crashplan.com/ provides free software for local backup - but you can also pay for offsite backup.
I use each of the following to back up different files. If you use the links provided below, I will get additional free storage (and you will get some additional for sugarsync). Each of these has the option of syncing files to multiple computers.
- Dropbox = 2 GB http://tinyurl.com/jhdropbox
- Sugarsync = 5 GB http://tinyurl.com/jhsugarsync
- Windows Live Skydrive = 25 GB (max 50Mb files) / Windows Live Mesh also syncs files to all your computers.
Other options:
- Google Docs
- Picasaweb (additional storage)
- Google Drive coming soon!
