Backing Up Stuff Online

July 16, 2008 Varna 4 comments

If you like the convenience of an online backup system and have access to a fast internet connection I highly recommend SpiderOak.

Unlike Humyo.com, SpiderOak does not promise endless storage and dump you with a PC upload client that refuses to install despite payment, complaints and a lousy attempt at ‘branded’ media.The pricing plans are also much more reasonable at $10 for 20 GB every month, which is a cartload cheaper than $79 that Humyo offers, especially because the space you buy at SpiderOak is more fungible.

SpiderOak gives you a simple 2GB limit to back up important stuff, which you can then choose to share with a ShareID. The upload client works very well, and will the space constraint will make you back up documents and stuff you really need, not oodles of free music you could find again.
