Question

Online back up

Dec 16, 2011 1:14AM PST

I bought a backup program that is not worth a poop. I can't remember the name of it. (I have an icon on my desktop that is orange in color and has the "little tree" on the front. I named it "Storage Backup.) Don't have the patients to mess with it. Does anyone here use an online storage site, and if so, I'd appreciate some suggestions and recommendations. I have some of my data backed up on cd's but not all, and I know I'm taking a big risk. Appreciate any help.

Thanks, Old Granny Lola

Care to share a detail or two about your computer and its version of OS X and we could possibly suggest an alternative solution.

I'm sorry, I should have realized you would need this info. I will be interested in hearing from some who have used these sites and what their experience has been.
