Online back-up
« on: August 05, 2011, 04:24:46 PM »
What do you use?  I have Norton and it freezes my computer.  Can't even get the online backup site to load.
I just doubled my memory in my computer to see if that would help, it helped with other issues but not with the online back-up.  Any good ones out there?  I'll probably switch to something else once my year is up.

Carbonite. Works great and it's pretty cheap. Won't back up your system, though.

Back-up to an external drive (E:) AND I keep my "important" files on the secondary drive (D:).
When a drive fails, it seems it's always the primary drive (C:) since that's the drive that's always churning.

I don't want to sound like an "Apple Guy" but our macs work great. We use backblaze.com for online backups.

drop norton, I haven't seen anything from them that doesn't slow computers down to a crawl.  Go with eset NOD for anti-virus and get carbonite.

AVG or Avira are less greedy.
Zonealarm is much better than Windows.

If you use Comcast (and maybe other providers), they give you a full AV program for free. My Norton AV is great.

Do Macs use a different sort of hard drive then?

No. Current models use SATA drives.

Just got an email notifying me that Carbonite is now compatible with Mac OSX Lion for those who use it. Update is automatic upon login.
