Storing files online is increasingly popular, particularly as a secondary backup of data archived on companies' on-site servers. Here are three of the best services for storing data in the ether.
MOZY
Mozy offers 2GB of online backup free, enough to store a few hundred songs or tens of thousands of pages of text. For $4.95 a month, you get unlimited backup of your personal computer files. Mozy Pro allows you to back up everything on your company's servers for $6.95 a month, plus 50 cents per gigabyte.
IDRIVE
IDrive also offers 2GB of free backup, or up to 150GB for $4.95 a month. The service can simultaneously back up data online and to an external drive, which saves the trouble of setting up a second automatic backup application. It can also back up data from your phone.
