First, because network speed is too slow for sending an image of my hard drive over the network, I NEVER backup my laptop over the network (the entire drive image.)
Next I use CLONEZILLA to image my drive to a file on some USB HDD.
Next I use Goodsync and Syncback (both are similar and I have one on some laptops, the other on other laptops) to sync my files with other places.
And I use Dropbox for some work in progress and finally a few 32GB memory sticks to sync our family photos to.
The folk that try to centralize backup eventually learns why it should never be centralized.

I just added a network storage device(iomega) to my home network. I wanted it to mirror everything on my hard drive because I have carbonite on it(the PC HD) any suggestions as to an inexpensive solution would be appreciated.
