Storing documents online

Is there any way that I can save all of my documents and photographs securely 'online'??
I run a small business and could do with a simple, quick daily back-up system that doesnt involve discs (I am concerned that they could get lost/stolen/damaged)
Would appreciate any info..

I trust Google, and they are a big company so very secure on there (providing you use a good password and don't write it on paper for everyone to see)
Also Google is free.
And a quick search on Google brought up the following:

Looks good and reliable.

Thanks - I have had a quick look and they look good, but only problem is it looks as though I can only upload one document at a time. I have 1500 documents and want to be able to quickly upload them all every day (I wont have changed them all, but will have made minor changes to quite a few of them.
Does anyone currently use something like this for their business?? TBH I wouldnt expect something like what I need to be free.0 -
Why not just get a high capacity external hard disk and last thing at night set them up to copy over.0

What internet connection do you have and what size is the total of the files you'll be looking to store?0

How big are the files going to be in total?
It will take quite a bit of time to upload.0 -

External hard Drive is simply removable hardware:

Would be more practical. You could then user Microsoft backup software tou backup the documents to this external hard drive. This way only the changes you have made would be backed up.
My company can offer this as a service for you if your in the Merseyside area. PM me if interested.Rules, Rules, Rules .....0
