Does anyone know a backup service without a monthly service plan?

Question

I found one a while back, but I can't find the website again. The site charged based upon usage only with out any type of service plan. It charge based upon mb and gb, but the service charges a few cents after so many mbs. I found the website on some other website with info about installing Windows XP.

Answer 1

www.mozy.com

This is the best free backup (2GB) service I had ever tried. All you have to do is to download a small program and then configure one time, Mozy will backup ALL your data automatically. One great advantage is, Mozy will scan and backup all new and modified data, without you selecting which to backup.

Retriving the data is also very very simple. If you are retriving one or two files, you get it almost immediately - this feature can be particularly useful if you realized you had forgotten to bring your thumbdrive out.

If you decided to sign-up, you can enter '[e-mail]' as your referrer. By keying in my email address as your referrer, you get another 256MB of storage space. Thus, you have 2.2GB to store your documents.

I strongly recommend you to use this free service.

Answer 2

If you really want to get a good backup service, you should look at a paid plan. Some are cheaper than others. Generally, with the free plans, you tend to get what you pay for (ie. bandwidth throttling, restore limits, etc).

Some plans start around $5.99 a month for 5GB, and are a lot more secure/functional than the freebies.

Answer 3

You could try https://mozy.com/

I know of many people who use this service and recommend it, and it's free for 2GB worth of storage or if you want more, then $4.95 per month for up to 30GB.
