So has anyone successfully restored an entire system from the Cloud (or a Time Machine come to think of it)? How easy was it? Any statistics on success rate? Some TM instructions require 'your original Mac OS 10.5 Leopard DVD' but I upgraded to Mountain Lion on line and have no corresponding original DVD. If I stop backing up will my system crash but only till then (Murphy's Law)?

If someone would just up the free storage to 150 GB.

Actually what I will switch to at some point is backing up my Time Machine disks, The problem with all the free and pay cloud backups is they only have the latest copy of a file.

All the plans I use are free. They range from 2GB to (I think) 25 GB for Microsoft! Everything in the designated directories are backed up automatically.

You can specify directories or back up the whole disk. Being a little cheap and having 3 computers on my account, I don't back up the OS or some aps that are easy to reload. You pay by the how much space you use for up to three computers on the basic plan. I think carbonite is about the same.

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.

So what plan do you have? How's it work? Is a full disk backup, or do you specify directories?
