I'm pretty simplistic about it and use mozy. My computers are backed up automatically and I don't spend any time thinking about it. The two times there was a failure of their data base on my machine getting corrupted, they were able to recover everything quickly. When we returned to NM after two months away, I found both a crashed disk and a hardware failure the backup disk on my wife's computer, both of which were powered down while we were away. A couple of clicks on the mozy site restored her whole disk. It's worth $150 a year.

Matthew Yglasias has a
piece on Slate about Amazon's new cloud storage service and how it's likely to kill Dropbox. Naturally I signed up. But I already have a Dropbox account that's not full. I also have Goggle Drive and Microsoft Skydrive accounts. (I also have a Cloud Experience account.) I'm sure I don't need all of these, but I haven't spent the time to decide what I really want to do. Has anyone thought about this? My needs are pretty modest. I tend not to store videos or music, just text and software.
