    I was using Mozy and was unhappy with the fact that I had to have a paid subscription for each of my computers. A friend told me about MyOtherDrive for online backup. It turns out, with MyOtherDrive I can backup all of my computers with one subscription. This saves me $15 per month. What was unexpected but great, is all the file sharing capabilities that they have. I can share files publicly or privately. Great service!

      That is an issue with Mozy, if you have more than one computer to backup it does cost more. Thanks for your input on MyOtherDrive. Nice to hear from someone using it.
