I am paranoid about backing up. I use SuperDuper to back up my entire hard drive to an external HDD. I have complete copy of all my 4000-odd photos on a Flickr Pro account. And last month, I signed up to Mozy.

Mozy is an online backup system. It costs $100 for two years, and you back up all your data and media files to a server somewhere in California. If you have a lot of data to back up, this can take some time, given the pathetic upload speeds offered by Irish broadband providers.

I signed up exactly a month ago, and today the last of my 37GB of files got backed up.



From now on, it runs in the background. It also slowed my connection something chronic.
