I figured it was time I had an off site copy of my important data so I've been playing around with Dropbox.
I've played around with the structure of my Documents folder so it's split into two, one folder which I want to keep an off site copy of and the other which I don't. I've dumped a symbolic link into my Dropbox and it's working fine, it's uploading now.
The problem is that it's a bit limited. I'm not sure I like the symbolic link method of doing this, I'd rather be able to set up more complicated lists of what I keep off site copies of and schedule when the bulk of copying will take place. Also the free Dropbox is just 5Gb which although enough for what I'm doing won't be enough if I decide to do more.
So, are you using an off site backup service? What are you using, what does it cost and can you get quite detailed about bandwidth, timings, folders etc?
