I have used Fibercloud in the past, they are a part of Whidbey Telecom. I liked them when I had them, just don't need them anymore. Their security standards are great and held up for the Fortune 100 financial services company I worked with.

Thanks

External drives are great, but if your house burns down they go with it.

Having your valuable data backed up offsite ("cloud") is a smart move. :twocents:

Or offsite at a relative's house works as well without the drawbacks of placing your data online or in the hands of someone who doesn't know you from Adam.

That's true, as long as you backup and deliver the backup to the offsite location frequently.

Also a good point. I'm just leery of buying another one after my Costco Seagate drive crashed. I know Costco would take it back and refund my money, but my data is all over that drive. I should open the drive up, pull out the disks, and fill it with sand to return  :chuckle:
