On-line Storage/Backup

I’m looking for on-line backup/storage options for about 250GB worth of data. It’s a mixture of Photos, Music, Video, data files. Anyone have a good suggestion for something that doesn’t cost $4K/year?

This does 250GB.
http://www.filedropper.com/

I signed up for this when it was free (Until: Jan 18th, 2038) for all digg.com users so it probably costs something now.

I'm using Mozy and am VERY happy with it. If you sign up using Wyz's link, he'll get some extra storage space.

$5 per month seems reasonable to me, and the backup interface is pretty slick. I've paid for two computers for two years, so I got three months extra for free... Oh, did I mention that you can back up an UNLIMITED amount of data?

I've used AOL's Xdrive (free version) happily.

Re: On-line Storage/Backup

Oh your talking about internet based backups well if your interested check out Lacie they make network/server/usb backup units up to a terrabyte (home one i saw at bestbuy anyway) the upside is you buy it and theres no bills on it just backup to it the downside is it is another onsite solution.

I'll double up what Cing says.

If you're looking strictly for online backup, then mozy is probably the cheapest and easiest to use.

If you're looking for other features like online sharing, etc. then there are other services to go for.
