| Mozy |
2GB |
Option to upgrade to unlimited for just $4.95 per month |
Mozy, for digiscrappers, appears the option to go for. Consult the front page of mozy, and you will see a feature comparison between Mozy and several others listed here. For encrypted backups, and the monthly price for unlimited storage, Mozy tops most.
EHDs can also be backed up with Mozy.
|
| IBackup |
None |
Wide range of options starting at $9.99 for 5GB.
|
15 Day Free trial. Can backup for databases and mapped drives (presuming this is for EHDs when connected / mapped) |
| Box |
1GB |
5GB for $4.99 per month. |
Free version has limited features available.
Interestingly, the box widget can allow you to share your 1GB file on blogs as a widget. Good for freebies? |
| Omnidrive |
1GB storage, 5 GB of bandwidth. |
Options start at $40 per year for 10GB, with 20GB bandwidth |
Good option for file hosting, particularly as Omnidrive has opened up as opensource, API, to allow for developers to build and integrate the product with blogs / wikis and the like.
|
| My Data Bus |
5GB, limited to uploads of max 500MB in size |
Options start at $14.95 per month for 25GB |
Integrated with Myspace etc. The free option is likely to interest digital designers wanting to share large digital kits of files, as there is no transfer limit for personal files. These files can be shared by an email click, and file sharing groups setup onsite.
|
| Carbonite |
None |
$49.95 for unlimited storage. |
15 days free trial
Although Carbonite has less features than Mozy for the digitalscrapper, it's cheaper for unlimited storage - and there appears to be no fees for downloading those backed up files should you suffer from a catastrophe.
Warning however - Carbonite does not currently back up files that are larger than 2GB in size, removable hard drives (e.g., USB drives) or mapped network drives. |
