Kudo to the post and i have bookmarked your RSS feeds for more updates.
While off-site (network) backup might seem to be an interesting approach, this requires a) decent Internet connectivity and b) rather deep trust that the storage server/service provider is keeping your data save and untouchable … You have make your own decision, but I personally do NOT trust in the safety measures that these providers sell. Get a bit more into the network security discussions for “cloud computing” and make your own opinion …
An alternative that works without remote network storage services and provides similar functionality as Apple’s TimeMachine for Windows systems is “Genie Timeline” from Genie-Soft.

Thanks Moritz,
I appreciate your comments and agree that backing up to a remote hard drive can be an option for someone using a desktop computer. For those with a lap top there is that “need to remember” to plug it in.
It is interesting to note that 98% of my readers have high speed internet.
A google search of “is carbonite safe” or “is carbonite secure” shows no mention of any real concerns with the security of Carbonite. Quite the opposite, with rave reviews and very indepth discussions about how secure your data is with Carbonite.
