Ask Dr. LJ: Computer Backup Edition

[mizarchivist]

The cobbler's children have no shoes and the archivist's files have no backup.

What system do you use to backup your computer files? I have the expectation to back up both mine and QE's. We both have a fair bit of music, he has videos, I have photos, and only a handfull of text-y documents.

Wex suggested Mozy.
QE wondered about Carbonite.

What say the peanut gallery?

Are you talking Windows? I use Time Machine on a Mac. I'm also thinking about SpiderOak to replace my use of DropBox; you can get 100GB there for $100/year, which isn't a bad price and is encrypted and everything.
