We have been checking out online backup solutions, also known as cloud backup.  We all know we should backup regularly, but do we do it?  The advantage of most of the online backup solutions it that once set up they automatically backup the files and folders that you have included.  No need for conscious thought. (?)

We have recently tested two providers. SugarSync and CrashPlan

Both have their advantages.

SugarSync seems better for collaboration; sharing files with others.  Similar to Dropbox.

CrashPlan is one of the more economical for large files and large backup sets.  One relatively unique feature is that it offers free backup to other computers or drives that you own, or to a friends computer.  Otherwise, it and Carbonite seem very similar.
