I save anything vital like my business accounts on to a memory
stick, but I don't backup general stuff - which could be an
inconvenience if anything happened.

I have Norton 360 which has a built in back up feature - but it
doesn't work. Drives me mad.

Everytime it reaches the stage 'Insert DVD' it them claims the DVD
isn't empty. Tried loads of different makes & the DVD slot works OK
with everything else.

So, would I be better off with one of these online backup companies
or buying some kind of external device?

If the latter, any suggestions to a PC numpty?



you do know that Virginmedia offer 5Gb of online Storage/backup free
to customers.

I didn't!

Ok its perhaps not the most secure or safest out there, but the
chances of both it and your PC having a catastrophic event at exactly
the some time are slim.

or even Unlimited if you are on XXL.

I am on there top package - cheers Mike.
