Free Online Backups

With my recent move to a paperless office, I decided I to start doing backups more consistently and to find an online solution for this.  Previously, I had been using an IDE to USB cable to sporadically do important backups by manually copying important data like photos, my Outlook file, etc. to an old hard drive.  Then I put the drive in my fire safe and lock it.

I found out about Mozy, an online backup service that comes with great software and allows you up to 2GB of free online backups.  It has been working great for me.  I split off my really big files into a separate folder, and keep those backed up locally in the fire safe, but 99% of my scanned files are now backed up online automatically at no cost.
