Deals on backup?

[Jaschymike]

I am looking for a safe backup tool. Is 150 GB online online backup space for 34 USD a good deal?

depends on who it's with and what they offer.

It's not just the amount of storage they provide by the service and reliability to go along with it.

do a websearch for the company in question, find out what their reliability os like, what their service is like etc etc.

For online services it might be better to go with a more well-known name. Google "zenok.com review," carbonite, mozy, etc first.

You might also consider alternatives to online backup if your needs fit. A spare hard drive with your stuff stored in a safety deposit box or a trusted friend's house might be better if you won't be doing constant updates.

Will you want to hang yourself if you wake up one morning, your computer is fried and you go inline to find out they're out of business??

Get a usb drive and keep it in a waterproof fire safe or rent a bank safety deposit box.
