Or did Jungle Dave do something like that already? I was about to chime in with Jungle Dave talking about the automatic backup...and that compare link. I'm loving Jungle Disk Amazon S3. @Jungle Dave: I'll pay my $20 in a few days, don't worry. :) We need to collaborate and create a online backup matrix of some sort, huh?

For folks who haven't checked out Jungle Disk, it's worth noting that it has automatic backup in the background - the mapped drive is just another way to use your remote storage. Those other services are great too, but Jungle Disk has a few advantages of its own - http://www.jungledisk.com/compare.shtml Thanks for the mention!

Does the data get backed up to a remote location? Also, is your data available on other machines?

This mozy thing is interesting, I’ll need to give it a look…

Secondly, I can simply store my files in exactly the same location as always and the Carbonite software will back it up for me automatically!

Mozy works very smoothly in the background completely <em>automagically</em>. As with all incremental backups, the first backup can take days. But once a copy is in place, everything works quickly and smoothly. Of course the real test for any backup comes in play when you need it. That has not been tested yet in my case. I agree with Jamie.

But I think I will stick with Mozy.
