Mozy used to be truly unlimited.  I'm still unlimited until June...I'll probably sit to see if carbonite's prices jump too....
govtcheez03:  i kind of look for it - i seek out stupidity and annoy it until it either gets better, gets banned, or goes away on its own

Yea for like a month, if that. Then they imposed the same restrictions as Carbonite.

My mozy is nearing expiration...plus I got a new apartment, so I've got to go to slower internet so I want to get my new backups done now...Any success with any of these new services I'm about to switch to carbonite, but I thought I'd ask about others first...

I haven't actually made the jump.  I'm building up space with Wuala (similar to dropbox) and I might give that a whirl.

I want something a bit more backup oriented than that - I use dropbox, mobileme, google, and probably soon iCloud for syncing type stuff....

I'm skipping on Carbonite.  After reading some it sounds like they have some throttling issues on upload - and given that I want to backup 100gigs in the next 2-3 weeks while I still have this available to me:





Seems like BackBlaze is pretty similar to mozy and carbonite and I can have complete encryption.....Not sure about their apps, but I don't use my mozy app very often so I'll live....

If it's on LH it's probably a safe experiment

Ok I'm done with carbonite. They keep dropping the ball on my massive music collection. Time to re-read this thread.
