I've been reading up on both Carbonite and Mozy and they both sound pretty good, so I'm still unsure as to which to go for. Does anyone have experience of both and, if so, do you have any particular preference? What make you opt for one over the other?
Another issue for me is file size. I would like to be able to backup my Outlook .pst file online, but it's already more than 4 GB. According to what I read about Carbonite, this shouldn't be a problem:
No restrictions on individual file size
Just right click on any file to add it to your backup, no matter how large it is.
And before anyone lectures me about such a big .pst, it's in the newer Outlook 2003 format - apparently .psts over a certain size tend to cause problems if they are still in the old Outlook file format.
Fyi, another good tool I have recently started using: BackupOutlook: www.backupoutlook.com. I do this for local backups, but I'd also like to have remote backups (via e.g. Carbonite or Mozy) of my .pst.
Cheers,
Sarah

| | A few last questions ... | Aug 13 |
... Does anyone have any idea of the upload speeds for these applications. I'm thinking of using Carbonite, but my initial upload is going to be about 50 GB, which is (admittedly) "a shitload"! Customer support informed me that average speeds are 3 GB a day (and that's if I'm not using my computer) - is this realistic? Also, what happens if I shut off my computer or it crashes while uploading - I'm assuming it will just automatically resume the upload when I switch it back on.
What about the download speeds? From recent experience, I suspect I may be able to download my 50 GB in two days should I need to restore the files. I have never understood why downloads are always so much faster than uploads.
Best,
Sarah
