Hello Techies.. Can you help??

My family want to backup our data. It is about 40GB in total. Where can we do this online for free/almost free. Any web links most welcome or the name of the company.

Cheers

    ADrive is very good. :)

    To be honest though, a 120GB External hard drive is only gonna cost you £25 + P&P, it may be worth getting this. It is so much easier. :)

    Do you know of any scheduling software that we can use to back up our data. We have an external drive but really want this to do it automatically each time.....

    If you are shifting this amount of data, and then large amounts later, check if you have that allowance from your provider, otherwise it could be expensive in extra charges. Do not forget that usually the allowance counts for uploads and downloads, some providers only count downloads, some allow unlimited overnight.
