[ale] [OT] Best remote/local backup for less technical?

[Stephen Haywood]

I use Mozy home edition from EMC. It works great and it's relatively
inexpensive. I pay $9.99 a month for 125GB of backup. I think they have
smaller plans as well. As far as ease of use. I set it up on my Mac and I
just let it run. Every so often I log into the web site and make sure my
files are there and I try to download a copy to test the restore.
