We've been using Mozy, which backs up fine. Haven't had to restore from it yet. Be prepared for the fact that your initial upload of files will take a while. Like, days.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
One simple solution to this is to back up to another external HD, and keep the drive locked in a drawer at work.

I agree with the external hard drive backup and store in a fireproof safe or something. It likely will be the cheapest for that amount of space.

I'm on the fence between the 3G and non 3G iPad. I have a Verizon MiFi that I've got a two year contract on, so I'm kinda leaning towards doing the non 3G version.

No 3G for me. I don't want the monthly outlay. Hell, I still have a first gen iPhone and it suits my needs just fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
