Take a look at http://www.myotherdrive.com. They offer true free storage, not free* trial. They also blend online backup and file sharing better than any other site I’ve seen – Kind of like the Mozy of backup and the box.net of file sharing.

Hi Paul,

Have you gotten an answer from support yet about your backup problem? In most cases you will not see any performance impact unless you have inherent problems with your hard drive – you may wish to try running CHKDSK to check for problems; Carbonite may have just been giving you a hint of underlying problems.

If you haven’t gotten a timely reply from support, please send a note to customersupport @ carbonite.com with “ATTN: Len” in the subject line and I’ll make sure you get a fast response.

Sincerely,

Len Pallazola

I tried to use Carbonite Online Backup, installation was little bit annoying since my PC started to get slower and the first backup it takes longtime so finally I decided for the sake of my PC to remove definitely Carbonite. I made acomment to their support service hope they will fix this issu or its just related to my PC.

Online Backup is an interesting feature but more tempting is one push button windows recovery once the dammage happens!!!!This typical service is not for now yet!!!!

I use XDrive. It’s fine I guess but the interface is unreliable and half the time you cannot connect.

Recently I came across smestorage.com which now support a free Google Mail storage cloud. I figured out I could do something pretty cool. I registered for a free account and I was able to backup all my AOL Xdrive files (only about 50 MB) to GMail via their service and then access them through a much nicer interface – works for me, and now I have a backup of my backup :-)

Claude’s comment is interesting and I think the elephant in the room with every non-Amazon-based system. ADrive is actually cheaper than Amazon S3 at the moment for its premium plans. Which makes me skeptical that they’ve got a business model that’s going to be sustainable for the long term (esp. in these turbulent times).

There are so many of these online backup services these days, it will be interesting to see if any of them can compete long term with Amazon, but I suspect they won’t be able to largely due to this self-fulfilling sort of prophecy (Amazon looks safe and sturdy, others don’t, so Amazon will prosper in this area while others fail in large measure due to behavior driven by those expectations).

I’ve been using JungleDisk for the Mac, which is also available for Windoze, a I love it. You buy a lifetime license for $20, install it on as many machines and off you go.

It uses Amazon’s S3 to to backup your data and you pay Amazon directly. I paid less than US$2 last month for almost 12GB of storage and transfers. So far this month my bill is a whopping US$0.76 –
