Rivky,
I checked out www.onlinebackupvault.com, and i mentioned Balendu point…Its not an issue with them…they have clients with 1 file that 20 gig big.. they said whats unique about them is
1. they can backup open files
2. after the intial backup they backup by BYTE not by file, so they can backup only the changes within a file

The online backing services could be good if data involved is less than 5 Gigs. However, for data in access of that, using newer disks such as Blu Ray could probably be a better option.

Hi
I recently started backing up @ backupvaultonline.com
I'm a little nervous about offsite backup, I spoke to the guys there and they seemed for real.
They are in beta stage so i negotiated with them and got them to give me my home for free if I took a 50 gig business plan..
What u guys think?

One thing you can do to avoid this type of problem is to get an online backup service. The one that I have and certainly recommend is called carbonite. For 50 dollars you can backup every file on your computer. Since theres no physical place where your files are stored, they cant be damaged. In order to make sure your files are secure, all the files are encrypted to make sure people cant access your stuff. Carbonite was easy, cheap and effective. Try it out, you wont be sorry
