Well, after great thought and study, I've decided to go with Mozy as my online back-up choice. I've set up the account and have installed the clients. One server and one desktop client. My server has a tremendous amount of bandwidth so, I thought I would do it's initial back-up first.

I can say that beyond the download (approx 70meg for me) being a little slow, that was the fault of my internet connection, this has gone without a hitch. In fact, I don't know if this was the intension or not but, my XP machine … [Read more...]
