I back-up to DVD every once in a while and park it in the fire safe. Online backup is risky at best.

On Edit: I've got another 12 or so TBs on other externals. Yeah, I hoard files.

I've wanted online backup as a 'firewall' for a while. Cost a few bucks. Worth trying.

The backup just started. Curious to see how long 250GB will take over FiOS.
