    Plus back up to online storage. Choose a service that's likely to stick around, e.g. Windows Live Skydrive gives 25 gigs of free storage 'in the cloud.'

    I know some are fine with it but to me online storage is a big no-no, I control as much as I can the security and safety of my PC (and back-up devices), I am NOT putting stuff online to a company whose security I know nothing of.
