Online Backup Web Sites

The last method for backing up your data is Online Backup Web Sites.  With online backups you transfer your data over your Internet connection to the web site for storage on their computers.  The main benefit is that you will satisfy the first rule of successful backups:

"Always keep your backup disks off site.   Then if fire or theft strikes you will still have your data."

A second benefit to online backups is that your data is always available to you if you are traveling and disaster strikes.

The downside is that backing up your data over your Internet connection is very slow.  You would not want to backup your entire hard drive, only your data.

Here are some links to online backup web sites.
