I Auto backup everyday with Mozy.com (Incremental - so doesnt take long) - costs a few dollars - but has proved so useful!0

Can anyone recommend a free online backup service that would take a pc running win98?
I wanted to use Mozy, but it doesn't like 98.Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
I never backup until my PC crashed and I lost loads of photos - now I back up regularly. The problem is working out where to back up to, if you don't want to spend money on a new external hard drive. I back up to FTP space that is provided at no additional cost with my ISP (Pipex). Free FTP space is included with most ISP accounts, but not a lot of people use it. Once you have access it, its quite easy to set up most back up programs to back up your data there - which means you don't have to pay for additional hardware.0

I Back up my files and documents daily because I am working daily and there are new files of document which I am creating for my work. So I prefer the daily backing up.0

Well, I've got Cobian 9 running on my system with daily incremental backups to a USB Zip drive and a weekly full backup to a USB external hard drive.
It works really well, and I didn't need to spend too long setting it up, with just the odd tweak to the file sets and exclusions here and there as I needed them.0 -
I back up daily but what happens now. I have just booted my desktop (I am doing this on my laptop) and I have a Disk Read Error message, and I can't boot from floppy or Windows CD. So what do I do now. I have the back up, but I can't get into my computer0
