No but I do use carbonite. It has been a good investment because my shop is a hour from where I do most of my graphic stuff and I can log on and open my files. This you have found is cheaper, carbonite is like $50 or so per computer

I have a phobia or something when it comes to 'cloud computing'.
Many don't though, nowadays.
If it works for you, go for it.

It can be and is a good thing (cloud computing), but always back up your files locally as well on an external hd. The web is awesome but if your server goes down good luck. And a lot of those "clouds" are rented on someone else's mega data farms. I know this will be a shock to some people but Apple, yes Apple, has their cloud on MS servers. Ha! That is funny

Have you ever seen what Apple tries to pass off as a server?

One of my clients got one before hiring me... it's a Mini Mac!  Doesn't even have a real NIC, it has a USB NIC.  What a joke.
