Online Backups - Mozy

[Romain Gros]

Hi ,
Well I m not a computer genius  ,
but I agree with Jay and Joost ...
I won t do any backup on line , for me it sounds I lose control of my  
data and also my rights without mentioning money  and time ... ( even  
5 euro a month  or 60 euro a year ),
I will prefer to do a physical backup with an external hard drive  
( that I can run when ever I want )...
O,r as it was mention above , I will prefer to get a website and put  
my data on my ftp ....( i will be more in control than giving my data  
to an company backup ...)


Anyhow let say you computer crash, and your complete data is gone  ...
my question is :

How long will you take to download all your backup again ?
knowing it  takes you 3 weeks or 3 years to upload your data ...  5  
Gigs a day you said ....

Nb: The online backup is quite interesting but I m more or less  
paranoid about what Jay mentioned ... ( i think i m not the lonely one)
I will prefer if someone from Ampfea will propose to do something like  
this on line ( like what does Joost with his company with a private  
server  ,) ,
rather than upload my data to a company/people that i don t know ... 
( i really hope you read the contract of it cause  I won t be  
surprised if somewhere it s written ( in very small terms) to  
mention:  " after upload your data is not your private data anymore  
" ) ...

Well Let's say I m paranoid ...

Nice subject tho ;)
