backing up data online: hoping for the evernet

after having lost one year of Mexico and family pictures to a broken external hard drive, I have been looking at online storage solutions. In a perfect world all data would be automatically online, however, we would not even notice where it is, but it would be available on any hardware, anywhere, anytime. This is what we have called the “evernet” in the early 2000s and what Marc Andreesen (of Netscape fame) was trying to do originally with Loudcloud in 1999.

It seems that Mozy is the best solution out there right now. They offer 2 GB for free. If you click on the link below and sign up I get 256 MB extra (and so do you).
