LaCie to provide one year online storage free with every drive sold

Pretty interesting concept, but does it give you access to these files on a computer other than the one backed up? I need file sharing like I get on sites like http://www.MyOtherDrive.com or http://www.box.net.

It seems like they don't support Mac yet... hmmmm... Hope they fix this before morning...

A necessity for LaCie drive owners, when (not if) their Lacie drive fails, they still have their data... it must be a legal-cost savings move for Lacie...

anyone using the beta of the carbonite backup software?

I'm a "mobileme" user with Backup... but I am wondering if JungeDrive is a better option... what say you??

I am an avid photographer with hundreds of thousands of photographs. My backup strategy consists of dual NAS Arrays. One is located in my bedroom where it can quickly be removed and taken from the house in the event of a disaster. The other is actually located inside a firesafe in the basement. Both arrays do automatic incremental updates of each other nightly. And I do a full backup every quarter.

So far nothing has been cheaper or faster than rolling storage, and dual redundant arrays provide the ultimate in reliability.

Anyone else use GDisk?

I've been using Time Machine and backups of Documents, Photos, and email on iDisk, just in case. But I'm thinking an external drive with my iTunes library, stashed at a friend's place, would be wise, too. I've lost my music library to hard drive failure once, NEVER again.

Carbonite has been 'testing' a mac client for over a year. At this point it should be treated as vaporware. Mozy, slow as molasses, exists.

Shame their power supplies rarely last a year!
I have replaced at least a dozen of these in the past few months. We have stopped buying them, they are so unreliable.
