Online Backup Services

Mar 22, 2011 3:32AM PDT

I'm shopping for an online backup service for my Mac. I'm currently trying Carbonite but I'm reading good things about Crashplan also.

Any recommendations? I'll be backing up around 50 GB of data and once the initial upload is done, the incremental backups will be pretty small. I have cable internet with pretty good upload speeds.

I ditched Carbonite for CrashPlan last night and so far it's a big improvement. In 14 hours CrashPlan has already uploaded more data than Carbonite did in twice the time. I'll keep researching though, especially in terms of the security of my data.
